Unexpected Trivia of Culture and Life (11–20)
Body weight varies slightly depending on the region where it is measured. Which of the following regions would result in a heavier body weight?
- Okinawa
- Fukuoka
- Tokyo
- Hokkaido
See the answer
Hokkaido
They say that if you weigh yourself in Hokkaido, you’ll be 0.15 percent heavier than in Okinawa. The reason your weight changes by region is due to gravitational acceleration. Gravitational acceleration is the acceleration exerted on an object by gravity. Because the Earth rotates, centrifugal force is at work. Centrifugal force makes things lighter on the inner side of the axis and heavier on the outer side. That’s why it affects your weight.

12cm
Hair is said to grow about 0.3–0.4 mm per day, which averages out to roughly 2.5 mm per week, about 1 cm per month, and about 12 cm per year. With around 100,000 hairs on the head and about 90% of them in the growth phase, the total length grown in one year is said to add up to around 100 kilometers. This shows how particularly active hair is in terms of metabolism compared to other parts of the body.

See the answer
earthquake
The event that led to full-scale evacuation drills being conducted in Japan was the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. This massive earthquake caused devastating damage, especially in Tokyo and Yokohama, and many lives were lost. Afterward, the importance of earthquake preparedness became widely recognized, and September 1 was designated as Disaster Prevention Day, on which evacuation drills are held nationwide. Since earthquakes occur throughout Japan, everyday preparedness is considered extremely important.
