Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. To visit arguably the best castle in Japan, you need to take the subway to Kyobashi.

Answer: Tokyo

Osaka Castle is located just to the east of the centre of Osaka, near Kyobashi subway station.

Answer: Osaka

Japanese fuel prices are usually about three times those of the USA.

3. K-1 is a hugely popular fighting sport in Japan. It has attracted many big names, such as former Minnesota Vikings player Bob Sapp, or old sumo wrestlers such as Akebono.

Answer: Sapporo

Bob Sapp knocked out Akebono in the first round of their bout on December 31, 2003.

4. My friend Keiko beats me at Goh every time.

Answer: Kobe

Goh is sometimes referred to as Japanese chess.

5. Japanese housewives have the unfair reputation of having a tendency to nag. Another stereotype is that they spend too much time shopping.

Answer: Nagano

The latter stereotype is certainly not unfair - Japan must be the only country in the world where shopping is the most popular free time activity!

6. China rarely defeats Japan in football.

Answer: Nara

China is getting better though, qualifying for the World Cup in 2002 for the first time.

7. Many restaurants in big cities are starting to serve yak. It all has to do with the influx of Mongolians in recent years.

Answer: Akita

Mongolia and Japan have developed strong sporting links. Sumo wrestling has become the most popular sport in Mongolia and Asashoryu, a Mongolian, became Sumo Grand Champion in January 2003.

Answer: Fukuoka

Fukuoka is located on the island of Kyushu. Japan is divided into 47 "ken" (prefectures) and one "to" (Tokyo metropolitan). Osaka, whilst also a "ken", has designated the urban area "fu". Furthermore, every big city has several "ku" (wards) and every ward has many "chome" (city block).

A typical Japanese address contains all of this information, plus building numbers and apartment numbers. It takes a long time to write one's address!

9. Jenna, Harry and I went to this city in the far south.

Answer: Naha

Naha is the capital city of Okinawa, Japan's southern-most prefecture.

10. In what seems like an eon ago, yards in urban Japan were green and spacious.
