[quote:Anonymous Coward 953504:MV8xODYzMjg5XzMxMDc4Nzc1XzUxNTQ5RTg3] [quote:kosh:MV8xODYzMjg5XzMxMDc3OTA3X0EyRTY1NDMw] It's safe enough in Tokyo. I was there in March for two weeks. It was my first visit there since the quake last year and you see subtle signs of the changes since that quake but for the most part it seemed no different than my prior visit. I spoke to many there and while there is concern about more quakes for the most part folks I spoke with didn't seem too concerned about Fukushima and felt the situation there was under control. Matter of fact, they seemed somewhat amused about all my questions and said folks here are somewhat over-hyping the situation. I dunno where the truth lies, but I hope the country makes it through these tough times as they really are wonderful people there. [/quote] well if this dumbass says its safe...:pick: [/quote]
Original Message
The idea is the latest bid by Tokyo to repair a reputation that was badly hit by the quake and tsunami disasters in March 2011 and the subsequent nuclear meltdowns at Fukushima.
We are trying to convince foreign tourists to come back to Japan and trade partners to resume imports of Japanese food by showing influential bloggers that Japan is safe,” the official said.

"We have invited foreign journalists from major newspapers and broadcasters, but these bloggers have direct channels to the audience, to whom established media do not necessarily appeal."
Japan's diplomatic missions research the scale of nominees' cyber-audience before offering them a one-week trip to Japan, the official said.
