Even if you’re familiar with the prefectures you’ve lived in or been involved with, there are probably many prefectures you don’t know much about, right?

In this article, we’ll introduce quizzes centered around “prefectures”!

There are many types, such as quizzes related to names, ones where you look at a map and answer, and ones where you answer based on photos, so feel free to try anything that looks interesting.

You might discover a new prefecture to love, or find yourself reminiscing about places you’ve been.

These are also recommended as recreational activities at day-service centers and other care facilities.

[For Seniors] Fun Brain Training! Prefecture Quiz (11–20)

Guess the prefecture from four clues

[Guess the Prefecture] 10 Questions! Identify the prefecture from four hints [Brain Training for Seniors] #1

Guess the prefecture from four clues

This is a quiz where hints related to Japan’s prefectures are revealed one by one, and you try to figure out which prefecture fits all the hints.

You can wait until all the hints are presented before answering, but it also seems fun to aim to answer with as few hints as possible.

It’s probably easiest to understand if the hints start with ones that could apply to multiple prefectures and gradually move toward definitive clues.

Since you’ll be matching hints to prefectures in your head, it can also serve as brain training.

And if a hint covers something you didn’t know, you’ll gain new knowledge about Japan’s prefectures.

Famous Landmark Photo Quiz

[Prefecture Quiz] Which prefecture is this?

Famous Landmark Photo Quiz

Not only is it great brain training, but it’s also a visual treat: the “Famous Spots Photo Quiz.” In this quiz, you look at five beautiful landscape photos and guess which prefecture they’re from.

Even if you don’t get the answers right, just looking at the photos is enjoyable.

This time it’s Japanese prefectures, but a version where you guess countries around the world would be just as fun.

You could also show each other photos from places you’ve visited and try to guess—another great way to play.

Either way, it’s sure to spark lively conversation.

Yuru-chara Quiz

[47 Prefectures Quiz: 10 Questions] Which yuru-chara is this? Simple and fun brain-training multiple-choice quiz

Yuru-chara Quiz

There are many prefectures that have characters to promote their regions and specialty products.

How about using a quiz about these yuru-chara to spark interest in various areas? A nice point is the wide range of roles and recognition levels—prefectural and municipal yuru-chara, as well as characters for facilities and specialty products.

Many are animal-themed while incorporating local features into their designs, so I think a quiz like this would help people learn about the characteristics of each place along with its characters.

Prefectural Capital Quiz

A 4-choice prefecture quiz: A surprisingly tricky quiz on prefectural capitals! Do you remember them correctly?

Prefectural Capital Quiz

This is a quiz where participants think about the locations of each prefectural capital.

It may be easier to understand if you present choices pairing prefectures with their supposed capitals and have participants find the incorrect pairings.

Since the prefectural capital is not always a city with the same name as the prefecture, it’s recommended to use that fact when creating questions.

You should also actively include pairings with famous cities that aren’t prefectural capitals to intentionally lead participants toward mistakes.

These questions seem well-suited for deepening knowledge about prefectural capitals and major cities.
