I made an Anki deck for learning the Prefectures, aimed at people who are learning the language

So there are a few Anki decks out there for learning the Japanese prefectures, but they are mostly written in English. [I made a simple deck which is entirely in Japanese, which you can download here](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/431342748). It aims to help you learn the basic information which you really need to know about Japan’s prefectures (so no flags or any of that!)

The details are on the Anki page, but each note contains the prefecture name (in kanji, kana, and English) as well as its position on a map (shown by a red outline) and its capital city’s name (in kanji and kana). There are four card types:

– Prefecture name from outlined location on map
– Finding the prefecture on map when given the name
– Reading the prefecture’s name in kanji
– Giving the capital city of a given prefecture

Anyway, that’s all. If you want, please feel free to give feedback here or on the Anki page (including if my grammar is a bit off – it almost certainly is). Enjoy!

(note: the first sample card displays Hokkaido with two map images – this is because of a hack I had to use to include the blank map image in the deck upload. It only displays one image when used in the Anki app.)
