OK, do they have to have the Jeopardy style wording? Where the contestant words the answer in the form of a question?

I can only come up with very simplified things when it comes to Japan since I haven't taken any classes but I'm eager to help. Also, I have wikipedia so I can look up all sorts of stuff I don't know.


So if you wanted the answer to be "What is Osaka" you can ask a lot of different questions of varying difficulty (since Jeopardy has 100-500 dollar questions)....

This city is sometimes called "Japan's Kitchen".
By day this city is the 2nd most populated in the country but at night it drops to number 3.
This city was built on the mouth of the Yodo river.
In 645, Emperor Kōtoku built his palace in this city, making this area the country's capital.
This city is the home of Kansai International Airport.

And that's just Osaka.....

They don't have to be Jeopardy style wording, normal question/answer is fine.

It also doesn't have to be super hard, I want the contestants to know some of them at least, lol.

Thanks Tom, you're a pal!

You could do something really easy, like...

"What city is the famous Akihabara district located in?" (Tokyo)

Here's a few true/false ones regarding food and table manners:

"According to Japanese table manners, you are not suppose to dip the rice side of sushi in soy sauce" (True)
"According to Japanese table manners, you can mix wasabi and soy sauce together for sushi" (False)
"According to Japanese table manners, it is considered rude to rub your chopsticks together after pulling them apart" (True)
"Ginger is to be eaten between courses as a palate cleanser" (True)
"You can stick your chopsticks in your rice" (False)

...I'll find more when I can
