Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.
You'll explore Japan's islands and mountains, samurai history and the Meiji Restoration, traditional arts like tea ceremony and kabuki, iconic foods from sushi to ramen, anime and manga culture, Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples, and the technology behind bullet trains and robotics.
Japan comprises 6,852 islands, though the four main islands — Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku — account for about 97% of the country's total land area.
Tokyo is the capital of Japan and the core of the Greater Tokyo Area, the most populous metropolitan area in the world with over 37 million people.
Japanese is the national language, spoken by virtually all 125 million residents. It uses three writing systems: hiragana, katakana, and kanji (Chinese characters).
