Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the station name of the area home to the bulk of Tokyo's major museums?

Answer: Ueno

Ueno is also home to Tokyo's largest zoo, cryptically named 'Ueno Zoo'. It was completed in 1882.

2. The 'Six Trees' area of Tokyo is one of the major entertainment districts in the whole of Japan. Which name means 'Six Trees'?

Answer: Roppongi

Be careful when you hit the streets of Roppongi at night. It can be a bit of a jungle.

3. Tokyo Tower is the spitting image of what other world famous landmark?

Answer: The Eiffel Tower

The mighty Tokyo Tower was built in 1958 and the design is based on the Eiffel Tower. It is 333m high, just 9 meters higher than The Eiffel.

4. Tokugawa was made shogun in 1603 and he decided on Tokyo as the seat of his government. However back in those days it wasn't called Tokyo. What was it called?

Answer: Edo

The period after Mr. Tokugawa became shogun in 1603 was known as the Edo Period. This period practically ended when power was handed back to the Emperor in 1867. The Meiji Period officially started from 1868.

5. In 1923 a great disaster struck Tokyo killing more than 70,000 people. What was it?

Answer: The Great Kanto Earthquake

After the quake rumors spread that Koreans were looting and committing other acts of vandalism. This led to Japanese forming vigilante groups hunting down and often killing anyone even suspected of being Korean. This included other Japanese and Chinese.

6. What hip part of Tokyo can you often see the black/orange faces of fake tanned 'ganguro' girls practising 'para para' dancing or wandering round with painted faces and impossibly short skirts.

Answer: Shibuya

Some of these girls have even started a business where they take other young girls on a tour of Shibuya complete with face painting 'perikura' and 'pararen'. Step right up.

7. The most popular baseball team in Japan is the cashed up Tokyo Giants club and they play their home games at The Tokyo Dome. What JR (Japan Rail) station is it closest to?

Answer: Suidobashi

Next to The Tokyo Dome is Kourakuen, an amusement park, home to the Thunder Dolphin roller coaster and a host of shops and restaurants.

8. Tokyo Disneyland is not actually in Tokyo. What prefecture is it in?

Answer: Chiba

Tokyo Disneyland was completed in 1983 and is visited by millions of Disney crazed Japanese hoping to get a glimpse of their favourite character (often Mickey, Minnie and Pooh-san) and enjoy the other attractions.

9. The firebombing of Tokyo caused more civilian deaths than the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Answer: True

The firebombing of Tokyo has always been a controversial issue due to the huge number of fatalities it lead to. It lacked the shock that the atomic bomb had which was supposed to overawe the Japanese into surrender.

10. What was the name of the famous fish market frequented by hordes of tourists hoping to get snapshots of the enormous tuna auctioned off there?

Answer: Tsukiji

Many vendors at the Tsukiji fish market have complained about the large number of foreign visitors touching the fish, using flashes during the auction and generally creating a racket. Keep your distance. Otsukaresama desu.

This market closed in 2018.
