Because my friend bought a BUROMPTON folding bicycle, we cycled around the southern part of Fukushima together.
We went by train from Tokyo to Otsuko Station and began ride heading north.
The news of the disaster in Fukushima was primarily focused on the nuclear power plants. But, the damage caused by the tsunami is a serious matter as well.
We rode up to the 25km safe spot, quite near to the nuclear installations. The radiation here had a fivefold increase compared to Tokyo, this amount was less than 50 years ago. A nuclear testing in the atmosphere was not prohibited in those days.The transportation infrastructure in the stricken area has been restored. However, a long period will be necessary to return to former life.
