  Nothing serious. Maybe a little dehydration, but nothing serious.

  were celebrating the 7-5-3 festivals for children aged 7, 5 and 3,...odd numbers but not an odd news... recently, many incidents of contaminated food occured in japan with a note : no health problems reported so far...is it that symptoms are appearing now?

  mislabeled food, perhaps? sloppy kitchen? dirty hands? anyway, the blame starts and stops at the restaurant.

  My advice: don't eat green meat or stinky fish. Wash your hands before eating because the cook probably didn't before cooking.

  the problem is that the Hilton Narita should be a top hotel with top restaurants, so their credibility went really down me and 10 other colleagues were infected with the Norfolk virus last year from a small family restaurant. they closed it down for one month, but I felt like they should compensate us somehow for those 3 painful days in bed. they didn't

  Japanese food is NOT SAFE... I never thought I'd ever say that, but there it is. It seems that the US is a safer food bet then Japan... something else I'd never thought I'd say.

  the restaurant should be given 5 stars for making so many jerks sick at once.

  Japanese food is NOT SAFE.

  I wouldn't go that far. Food, weather in Japan or other countries needs to be handled, stored and prepared with proper methods. A failure of any of these can lead to bacterial or viral development. Food bourne illnesses happen from 5 star restaurants to the streetside Yatai.

  Nothing is as it seems. Beware of making unsubstantiated comments. What to think of this: *Every day in the US about 200,000 people become sick, 900 are hospitalized and 14 die due to food borne illness. According to the Center for Disease Control, about one quarter of the American population suffers from food poisoning each year. Despite the government's attempts at implementing food safety standards, food borne illness has become an increasingly frequent and widespread problem in the U.S. *

  What motivates you people to make these petty remarks on every news item?

  ptolemy - If the cook doesn't wash his hands before preparing your food, you're screwed.

  People get food poisoning all over the world, in developed countries as well, all the time. Almost everyone in my family has had severe food poisoning at some point in the last 10 years- all of them from different restaurants in New Zealand and the UK. I've been living in Japan for those 10 years and managed to avoid food poisoning.

  In a developed country it's usually just bad luck- you ate the wrong shrimp/piece of chicken at the wrong time on the wrong day, it doesn't necessarily indicate major problems with food preparation.
