In this Saturday, April 5, 2014 photo, Kokoro Kamiyama, 13, who started her new life after moving from Fukushima, leaves her dormitory to attend an opening ceremony of her Aida junior high school in Matsumoto, central Japan. Kamiyama is the first child to sign on to the Matsumoto project which Chernobyl-doctor-turned-mayor Akira Sugenoya of Matsumoto, offered his Japanese town to get children out of Fukushima. Kamiyama was prone to skipping school when she was in Fukushima, which her mother believes was a sign of stress from worrying about radiation. She is happy she can run around outdoors in the city without wearing a mask. “The air feels so clean here,” Kamiyama said. (AP Photo/Koji Sasahara)
