This is what the Geiger counter reads. Kyoto has a high background radiation due to several factors. It's geological make-up(potassium rock, radium), past nuclear "incidents" at Oii, Monju, Tsuruga or Mihama nuclear power stations, and the possibility of test burning and dumbing of contaminated tsunami debris from Tohoku. Also remember that Kyoto is surrounded by mountains, and that rain and snow can carry radionuclides for long distances. Previous nuclear bomb test also have a minute effect.
