Start here, and then follow the road wherever you want, this is inside the 'Restricted Zone' of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, on the road you will pass wrecked cars, silent reminders of the tsunami that swept across the road you're on, two years ago. If you travel a bit to the west, you will find the town of Namie, once home to over twenty two thousand people, now grass grows high through the pavement, no children play in the grounds of the elementary school and rubble lies where it fell. There are still people who live in Namie, no-one really knows how many, nor how much radiation they've taken in.
