Frequently asked questions

How many prefectures are in Japan?

Japan has 47 prefectures in the shared geography data. The map quiz covers the complete set from Hokkaido to Okinawa.

What are the main Japan regional groups in the quiz?

The quiz is easiest by group: Hokkaido, Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kansai, Chugoku, Shikoku, and Kyushu-Okinawa. Those groupings are study anchors, while the game data stores the individual prefectures.

Which Japan prefectures are commonly confused?

Learners often swap nearby pairs such as Gunma and Tochigi, Tottori and Shimane, and Oita and Miyazaki. Practicing by region helps separate them.

Should I learn Japan capitals after the map?

Yes. Capitals such as Sapporo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Kobe, and Naha are easier when the prefectures already have regional and island positions.
