Name all 47 Japanese Prefectures
No map hints and no multiple choice: just type every one you can remember. Each correct answer lights up on the map, and the clock keeps running until you give up or get all 47.
How it works
Type a name and press enter. Spelling is forgiving: accents, capital letters and common alternative names are all accepted. When you stop, the ones you missed are shown on the map so you know which to practise next time.
Most people get well under half on the first try. Play the map quiz a few times first, then come back and see how many you can name.
