Nice. Wasn't quite sure what to use for P actually so chose that one.

Why does it have to be? The city in F is hardly obscure.

That is true, thanks for the reminder - I have just reworded the clue slightly.

硫黄島の公式の読み方は「いおうとう」ですし、日本人にとって「いおう」を「いをう」と表記するのはあまり馴染みがないので、iojima,iwoto,iotoも答えに追加してはどうでしょうか。

The official name of Iwo Jima is "iwoto."

Furthermore, the notation "iwo" is not used very often in Japan. Instead, "io" or "iou" is often used.

So why not add "ioujima", "iojima", "iwoto", "ioto", "iouto" to your answers as well?

Fair comment - I will add these.

I am fully aware the island is referred to differently in Japanese.
