Question is; Is it really safe?
Kyodo News was the one we relied on in Japan to report accurately during the crisis. They don't leave articles up for long in English but I just recently finished updating my old Fukushima data gleaned from ATS, Wa yback machine and my database
So I just popped over there and:
Lifting of evacuation order formalized for Fukushima plant host town
KYODO NEWS KYODO NEWS - Apr 5, 2019 - 13:50 | All, Japan
The government formally decided to partially lift from next Wednesday a mandatory evacuation order for residents of a town that hosts the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, citing the lower radiation levels achieved through decontamination work.
The town of Okuma, which had all of its roughly 10,000 residents evacuate after one of the world's worst nuclear disasters triggered by a deadly earthquake and tsunami, will allow former residents to return for the first time in eight years, the government decided Friday.

Futaba, the other town that hosts the plant, remains a no-go zone.
Despite the decision, a very small number of residents are expected to return to Okuma. As of late March, only 367 people from 138 households, or around 3.5 percent of the original population of 10,341, were registered as residents of areas where the order will be lifted.
"Lifting the evacuation order is not the final goal. We will strive to restore a habitable environment for the population," said Economy, Trade and Industry Minister Hiroshige Seko at a press conference.

There will be no restrictions in place over approximately 38 percent of the town's total area, but the remainder will remain off-limits due to higher radiation levels.
On March 11, 2011, a tsunami engulfed the six-reactor nuclear power plant located on the Pacific Coast, causing core meltdowns at the Nos. 1 to 3 reactors and hydrogen explosions at Nos. 1, 3 and 4 units in the following days, leading to the worst nuclear disaster since the 1986 Chernobyl crisis.
At the crisis' peak, some 160,000 people were evacuated from their homes in Fukushima Prefecture and about 40,000 people remained displaced as of the end of March this year.

...all the while they were saying "We have it under control" :P
:) Yep, yep, and yep. Once again it looks like the only way to actually know whats going on is to go see it, and feel it for ones self..... Any body feel like getting a little warmed up from the inside out. lol 8) Don't forget to wear you radiation proof underwear. Protect those vitals. lol

"Safe" is relative. You are dealing with people that thing the deadly Puffer (Blowfish) fish is a delicacy. I wonder how many died before they discovered only a certain portion was safe?
Well after Fukushima, they have a new delicacy... Glowfish :P

And don't forget the black Monazite
