Difficult-to-read kanji of spring
This is a quiz that presents items commonly seen in spring—such as foods and animals—written in kanji, and asks you to think of their readings.
Even if you know the words, you might not often see them in kanji, and some may be more strongly associated with being written in katakana or hiragana.
The fact that they’re related to spring is a major hint, so you might find the answer by picturing springtime scenes.
It may help to consider the meanings of each kanji used and think of things associated with spring that fit those meanings.

Cherry blossoms are a symbol of spring and can even be called a Japanese tradition, and when this season arrives, locations across the country known as cherry blossom viewing spots draw attention.

If it’s a familiar place you’ve visited, it can be a chance to look back on memories, and even if it’s not, it helps deepen your knowledge.
Looking at a variety of photos and thinking about which scenery you prefer also seems like a fun way to get everyone excited.
