The holy mountain in Toratori, Iitate, where the Yamatsumi Shrine is situated. The forest on the mountain is not being maintained due to the high levels of radiation. Trees are falling, taking other healthy trees down in their fall. Level of radiation: 2.8 micro Sievert per hour. The normal rate before the Fukushima nuclear disaster was 0.08 microsieverts an hour. The impact of the Fukushima meltdown in the surrounding villages is already obvious with abandoned homes and gardens rapidly falling into decay. Around 150,000 people will not be able to go back to their homes for years to come and many may never be able to return at all.
