Many parts of Japan are still safe to visit, it is claimed.
Many parts of Japan are safe to visit and have plenty of activities to occupy tourists.
This is the view of Harry Cheng, president and representative director of La Ditta Limited, publisher of Been There Done That – Japanchecklist, who says he is living in the country and knows many areas are unaffected by the recent earthquake and tsunami.
He explains there is a radius people should avoid and pay attention to travel warnings issued regarding public safety, but Tokyo is just one example of a destination that is considered safe.
Mr Cheng remarks: "There are so many things that people can do in Japan.
"The lists offer people to look at the variety of choice available."
It does, however, depend on the individual, as there is something to suit most tastes and types of tourist.
"We are wishing to counter the negativity and say much, if not most, of Japan is open as usual for business, safe and indeed amazing as always," Mr Cheng continues.
A Japanese tea ceremony is named as one of the highlights, while the expert also advises sampling an array of food.
More adventurous travel insurance policyholders who enjoy sampling a real taste of culture could head to Kyoto and see natural wonders such as Hokkaido and Yakushima.
Alternatively, spending some time with a Japanese family to witness their way of life could offer a unique insight into the nation and its customs, Mr Cheng suggests.
His comments follow a new provisional rating issued by the Japanese Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, following the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, raising the alert to a level seven "major accident".
