I was reading this Japan Times article. It reminded me of quizzes I gave to my Japanese students. They were big hits. Later on, I’d quiz my Japanese friends and they’d all call me kuwashii (詳しい, used to describe a person who is knowledgeable about something/s). Although this observation is far from accurate, we all had fun.
Japan Quiz:
1. What is the smallest Prefecture in Japan?
2. What are the four capitals of Japan, past and present?
3. What is the most common male Japanese name?
