Stop the hysteria

Many friends and people who once was guided by me sent very warm and kind concerns and messages. I really appreciate for that.
But at the same time, the travel alert in the foreign countries and some excessive news reports, many foreign tourists cancel their trip to Japan even they will never visit Eastern Japan.

The western Japan is totally safe and has no influence of the earthquake, tsunami and the nuclear crisis but the tourism in the west as well is facing the serious situation.
I know if one saw those terrible scenes repeatedly on TV or You Tube, you feel guilty to do something enjoyable. The nuclear power plan crisis is serious but it can be solved soon. It is 600-700 km away from Koyasan.
I dare to say people on the west love to help our fellow people in Tohoku and eastern Japan but we are also threatened by our daily life to encourage them and support them as well if we can't keep our daily lives.
So please do not stop traveling to Japan!
Please see this beautiful country and think about the sufferes and how you can really help them. You can also see how brave and patient in Tohoku Area who try to find out the right way to live there.
