If you come across place names you’ve never heard of, look them up or visit them to make the knowledge your own.
It’s a quiz that helps you discover many of Japan’s charms.

So you could say it’s quite a challenging quiz.
It’s not particularly useful to know, but being able to answer makes for good bragging rights.
By the way, how you hold the prefecture is up to you.
