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.
