So all the beauty of Japan is ruined or not

[Jon the Horrible]

Last year in April I went to Japan and stayed in Tokyo. Went visiting all the shrines and temples I could and saw the Cherry Trees are they alright what about the cherry tree festival. Just some questions that pop into my head. I do feel sorry for them and have known people from Japan and hope they survive and get back on their feet. Does anybody know how much historical if any sites have been damage and where. I know we should focus on the people, but I see all the effort to help the people already I just wondering whats being done to protect the fish life (sushi) and plant life (cherry trees) and other non living areas like temples and shrines and important sites. Yes people count, but these things are also part of Japan and need to be seen as something to focus on.

I a bad person I know, but with all the effort going to provide care to the people we are forgetting the animals, plants and fishes or Japan who is going to speak for them and then there is those areas that hold the history and culture of Japan that need to be seen too if less than the living plants and animal.

Most of Japan is perfectly fine. And the cherry trees are still blooming in Tokyo, same as ever. People are just not entirely sure it's alright to be celebrating this year when there is so much sadness going on by Tohoku. It's a cultural thing ... by not celebrating and sharing in the solemnity, you're showing support.

Tokyo is mostly fine, it'd be the cultural sites by Tohoku that you'd need to check on. If you can think of a place, you can look it up on wiki and see where it is. That ought to answer any questions you have on it. Wiki's good for giving locations. I don't think there's much famous in Tohoku though. Certainly, nothing as famous for beauty as Hokkaido or Kansai. Kyoto's untouched. I live there and I can affirm that from walking around every day.

In most of Japan life goes on as normal.

no, not all of Japan is ruined. Just pretty much the northeastern part of Japan. The cities on the southern part of Japan are still intact, I think.
