Memorandum
In the forest with fresh green, many birds were twittering so cheerfully.
Frogs were singing around the water.
I met 15 people when I walked around the forest. In addition, many cars drove through the road in front of the entrance of the forest while I recorded the sound at in front of the entrance.
The monitoring post showed that the radiation level at the parking area was 0.137μSv/h. However, according to the poster in the forest, the radiation level in the forest was 0.24μSv/h: this level exceed the reference level for the decision of the emergency decontamination outside Fukushima.
At the entrance of the parking area and roadside to the nature center, there were signboard which shows that this area is a hot spot.
