(CBS/AP) TOKYO – Lady Gaga says that if people want to help Japan recover from the earthquake and tsunami that devastated the country in March, 마카오 카지노 just come visit.

The pop star, in Tokyo this week for a benefit concert for tsunami victims, said Thursday that she’s making a point to get out and enjoy the city and its food, and that her fans should do the same thing.

“I can’t say enough to people all over the world that the majority of Japan right now, Japan in general, is very safe,” she said at a press conference. “It’s fine to come here. It’s beautiful.”

Many performers and athletes have canceled appearances in Japan after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that caused widespread destruction and set off a crisis at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant about 140 miles (220 kilometers) north of Tokyo. Tens of thousands of people were forced to leave homes near the plant because of the radiation danger, but even far from the evacuation zone, Japanese tourism has suffered because of the disaster.

The singer said she couldn’t wait for the chance to show her support.

“The most important thing, and the best thing, we could do for Japan right now is to boost tourism, and so everyone come to Japan and come enjoy the beautiful country.”

“I am always so inspired when I come to Japan, inspired by the spirit, the passion, the love, the absolutely infectious joy of Tokyo,” she added, according to the Daily Mail.

The singer received a certificate from the commissioner of the Japan Tourism Agency on Thursday, thanking her for her support and money-raising efforts.

After her appearance at MTV Video Music Aid Japan on Saturday, Lady Gaga will move on to Taiwan on July 1.
