You have just got off your flight, and you are on Japan's largest island. Where are you?

Honshu. Honshu is Japan's largest island. It contains cities such as Tokyo, Nagoya, and Yokohama, where the final game of the 2002 World Cup Series was played. Brazil won!

You don't speak Japanese, but an English speaking passer-by tells you you are in Japan's largest city. Where are you?

Tokyo. Tokyo is not only Japan's largest city, it is one of the largest cities in the world. It has over 33 million people in its metropolitan area.

You have just rented a car from your local Japanese Rent-a-Car. You drive north to the city of Sapporo, what Japanese island are you on?

Hokkaido. Hokkaido is the second largest Japanese island, and is not a very populated island. Sapporo is the largest city, and does not have an international airport.

You feel like a history lesson, so you decide to fly from Sapporo to Hiroshima, but on the way, you notice you are flying over a vast body of water. You know that you are on a straight flight, so you pull out your map, and find out that the body of water you are passing over is...

The Sea of Japan. If you are flying on a direct flight from Sapporo to Hiroshima, you will for sure pass over the Sea of Japan. Most of the tsunamis that hit Japan originate from this sea, as there are many faults under it.

When you arrive in Hiroshima, you get a tour guide who is 71 years old, and he was there the day the bomb was dropped. He asks you if you knew when it happened, and you respond...

August 6, 1945. Your tour guide tells you that on August 6, 1945, over 70,000 people lost their lives from the bomb itself, and bomb related diseases. The next bomb in Nagasaki was not nearly as deadly. 40,000 died from that bomb.

After having heard that sad story from your tour guide, you went to Osaka and took a very famous train ride from Osaka to Tokyo. You are traveling at 350 kmh. on a train! What famous train are you on?

Bullet Train & The Bullet & Shinkansen & Bullet.

After arriving in Tokyo, and you look at a menu. Oh goodness, It's 50,000 yen for a plate of sushi! You think to yourself, "this must be one of the most expensive city in the world." Are you right?

Your travel plans take you to a new city in Japan. You notice that the city's name is an anagram of a city further north. You show your friend and he is astonished. The city you are going to is...

Kyoto. Kyoto is also on the island of Honshu along with Tokyo, although Tokyo is bigger. You can rearrange up the letters in either name to get the other name.

You next are on a chartered plane to the southernmost island in Japan. You are on the same latitude as which country?

Taiwan. Taiwan is on the same line of latitude as the southernmost Japanese island of Iriomote Jima.

You need now to fly from the southernmost point in Japan to Shanghai, China where your plane goes back to The U.S.A. You are now flying over which body of water?

East China Sea. You will fly directly over the East China sea before you head home. How was your trip. Did you enjoy it?
