Question:
Will be traveling and living in the Tohoku region of Japan in September. Not exactly on top of news to the hour. Will there be radiation that'll affect me in the long run or will it be generally unsafe to consume water or vegetation, etc.?
Answer:
The other half of the region (Akita, Aomori, Yamagata) should be safe. By September, hopefully the trains going in there should be fine at that time.
The radiation problem is only in a part of the Fukushima prefecture. And hopefully by September it won't get worse. The food and water coming from the area near the nuclear plant is controlled and banned so no need to worry about it.
No one can really tell what can happen during the next few months, so I suggest you just stand by and get updated for more news coming.
If it doesn't go your way, there's still other parts of Japan you can travel. Like the Kyushu and Chugoku region.
