Good quiz, I think 'Fuji' should suffice for the mountain question, most jetpunkers don't put Mt. before every question.

I think Taipei 101 should be typed out, instead of just Taipei. Okinawa is also misspelled

Jeju is southwest (or at best, due south) of the Korean peninsula, definitely not southeast.

At first I thought you were getting at Tsushima, or Kyushu, or maybe even Honshu, and was getting increasingly frustrated until I finally got Jeju just by spamming anything that might be in the general vicinity.

Good for you to update! Haikou and Haiku still don't mean the same thing however.
