Amazing! And thank you for using macrons!!

Also why did you do regions of Japan in the map instead of prefectures?

I originally did prefectures but it got a little bit too messy around Tokyo and Osaka when the cities got added.

Maybe just if the circles would shrink when zoomed in would look a lot better

Nice quiz! My knowledge of Japanese cities is pretty weak, but I got a few bonus answers by guessing every Japanese brand I could think of, like Toyota, Kawasaki, and Yamato (which is a Japanese restaurant near me). Disappointing that Yamaha, Kikkoman, and Sony aren't actual cities.

Not surprised my handful of correct answers mostly matches up to everyone else's, but I am surprised more people have heard of Nagoya than Sendai, which is where the tsunami hit.

Good quiz!

But I think Soka is south of Koshigaya.

Should accept "correct" romanisations like 'souka' for Sōka.

I think I would prefer no lines at all to regions.
