TOKYO —

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Sunday visited two towns in the no-go zone around the stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Fukushima Prefecture.

Abe visited Namie and Tomioka towns and met with displaced residents from the towns, Fuji TV reported. It was his second visit to the region since he became prime minister. Last December, Abe visited the crippled power plant to check on the progress of decommissioning work.

On Sunday, Abe met with local officials of Namie town where limited access will be allowed after April 1—meaning residents can make short visits back to their homes. In Tomioka, where limited access will also be permitted from this week, Abe met with displaced farmers, Fuji reported.

Abe said that the clean-up at the Fukushima nuclear plant and decontamination of the 20-kilometer no-go zone is unlike anything humanity has ever tried. He said that success in the recovery effort will lead to the reconstruction of Japan, Fuji reported.

As he did on his previous trips to Fukushima as well as Miyagi and Iwate prefectures, Abe promised residents that the government hadn’t forgotten them and said his administration would give them full support.

• Tomioka? Isn’t that the town with ONE resident? The guy who is still hanging in there to feed the ostriches and remaining animals? Did Abe meet with him? I hope so. Give that guy a lot of money to support his good works. Oh, and how about a place to live that is decent for the people still in relocation centers?

    Im very glad indeed that he is visiting these areas, however the question I would be asking is “when“?

    Its been 2 years now, and they are still waiting for the financial support, new houses, etc which is very much needed.
