Japan Map Quiz — Name the Prefectures
Test how well you know Japan. The quiz names a prefecture and you click it on a blank map — no labels, no hints. Your score and time are tracked as you go, and your best run is remembered on this device.
How to play
- Pick a round length — 15 questions, 30, or the full set of 47.
- Read the name at the top left, then click that prefecture on the map.
- A correct click turns the prefecture green and the next question appears.
- Two wrong clicks reveal the answer in red so you learn it.
- Scroll to zoom and drag to pan when the target is small.
