The Situation in Western Japan

We are safe in Kyoto, and there was no direct damage in western Japan by the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear power plant accident in northeastern Japan. People in western Japan are back to their regular lives in order to keep running this country. However, doe to the media coverage in foreign counties, western Japan (non-affected areas) are getting serious economic damage. This situation slows down the recovery of the affected areas (northeastern Japan).

Kansai International Airport is functioning as usual.

Some countries have moved their embassies to Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe because western Japan is safe.

Please send your prayers and supports to the victims in northeastern Japan.

Sincerely,
Taka Kawakami
