Recently, the capital of Japan (Tokyo), Fukushima Prefecture (Fukushima City, Iwaki City), and the capital of South Korea, especially in South Korea, has been growing interest in radiation doses.
As a general rule, the air dose rate in Seoul will be updated every day except the days when the embassy is closed, and past records will be archived.
As shown below, the air dose rates in the following three cities in Japan are comparable to those in major cities overseas including Seoul.
The radiation dose in the environment varies depending on the weather (Note).
The Japanese government will continue to provide accurate information based on scientific grounds and explain it with transparency and careful consideration.
I hope that you will deepen your understanding.

(Unit: μSv / h)
Fukushima City 0.132
Iwaki City 0.060 (* 1)
Tokyo 0.036
Seoul 0.119

・ Fukushima city (prefectural north health welfare office), Iwaki city (Iwaki joint government building):
Fukushima Prefecture Environmental Radioactivity Monitoring Telemeter System (Measurement by the Fukushima Crisis Management Department Radiation Monitoring Room)
* Data from other locations can also be viewed from the above websites.
(Note) Normally, the air dose rate measured is due to natural radiation from the earth, etc., but radiation is also emitted from natural radioactive materials present in the walls, floors, and ceilings of buildings.
It has come out. For example, the amount of radiation in buildings and tunnels is greater than that in the outside, and in urban areas where there are many concrete buildings on the outside, the value of the air dose rate
