Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. You have just got off your flight, and you are on Japan's largest island. Where are you?

Answer: Honshu

Honshu is Japan's largest island. It contains cities such as Tokyo, Nagoya, and Yokohama, where the final game of the 2002 World Cup was played. Brazil won!

2. You don't speak Japanese, but an English speaking passer-by tells you you are in Japan's largest city. Where are you?

Answer: Tokyo

Tokyo is not only Japan's largest city, it is one of the largest cities in the world. It has over 33 million people in its metropolitan area. Politically, the city of Tokyo no longer exists. By 1943 the city had subsumed so much of the surrounding areas it became a prefecture in its own right.

This was changed again and now the Tokyo Metropolitan Government runs the greater Tokyo area, two island chains and over thirty municipalities to the west of Tokyo.

3. You have just rented a car from your local Japanese Rent-a-Car and you drive north to the city of Sapporo. What Japanese island are you on?

Answer: Hokkaido

Hokkaido is the second largest Japanese island, and is not a very populated island. Sapporo is the largest city, and does not have an international airport.

Answer: The Sea of Japan

If you are flying on a direct flight from Sapporo to Hiroshima, you will for sure pass over the Sea of Japan. Most of the tsunamis that hit Japan originate from this sea, as there are many faults under it.

5. When you arrive in Hiroshima, you get a tour guide who is 71 years old, and he was there the day the bomb was dropped. He asks you if you knew when it happened, and you respond...

Answer: August 6, 1945

Your tour guide tells you that on August 6, 1945, over 70,000 people lost their lives from the bomb itself, and bomb related diseases. The next bomb in Nagasaki was not nearly as deadly. 40,000 died from that bomb.

Answer: Bullet Train

The first Bullet Train opened in 1964. There are over 2,000 kilometres of Bullet Train lines in Japan.

Answer: Yes

Tokyo frequently features in lists of the world's most expensive cities in which to live. Depending on which list you consult Tokyo usually finds a place in the top ten most expensive cities, sometimes taking first place depending on which parameters are measured to ascertain the placings.

Answer: Kyoto

Kyoto is also on the island of Honshu along with Tokyo, although Tokyo is bigger. You can rearrange the letters in either name to get the other name.
