Thanks for your reply! You are Trap Victim #1.

That was the only "tricky" question. The answer would surely surprise you.

BTW, I will give the answers in 48 hours.

All the pics are real, I assure you, Madam. Camels were brought there for the tourists but the sand dunes are real. Japan is larger than many people tend to think and is geographically pretty diverse.

To give away one of the answers:
Tottori Sand Dunes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello Dr.Masaegu

I know you won't give us simple and easy questions...
must be some tricks in them...


1. Sand Dunes and Camels

鳥取(とっとり)県

I think...


2. Endless Tulip Fields

I saw similar one in Nagano, but maybe not...




3. Walls of Snow in April

長野県~富山(とやま)県!

I haven't been there yet, but one day!




4. Cafe above the Clouds

ラピュタ?




5. Hawaii-Themed Resort

福島(ふくしま)県!



6. Prefecture or Paradise?

The web address is ... "okinawa.from.tv"
so must be 沖縄(おきなわ)県!




7. World's Largest Planetarium

愛知(あいち)県?



8. Name the prefecture in which this style of music was developed.

青森(あおもり)県


9. Name the prefectures that do not face the sea.[/quote]

埼玉(さいたま)県
栃木(とちぎ)県
群馬(ぐんま)県
山梨(やまなし)県
長野(ながの)県
岐阜(ぎふ)県
滋賀(しが)県
奈良(なら)県





One more question

In which prefecture a very famouse but silly feudal lord lives?
(this is just a おやじぎゃぐ but Im not a おやじ




kylie Mole Rules I miss her !!!!
