Fukushima incident causes a lot of fears among people, as to whether it's safe for tourists to go to Japan or not.
While I understand that the radiation is not a problem for normal people, what about a pregnant lady who wants to go to hokkaido ? Will the radiation cause cancer or problem to either the pregnant lady or the baby?
It's safe. Per both the Japan Radiation Map and Safecast, radiation levels in Hokkaido are safe (green) at less than 0.05 microSieverts (μSv) per hour, or 1.2 μSv/day.
For comparison, if you live in a brick or concrete house you get a dose of about 70 μSv/year, and if you spend 14 hours on a plane, you will get a dose of around 100 μSv from atmospheric radiation.
