About & operator info
LoreMania (ご当地マニア検定) is a local-knowledge quiz that asks questions about regions of Japan across four difficulty tiers.
About this service
Each play draws questions from all four tiers. Depending on how far you reach, you earn a rank (Nationwide → Local → Expert → Super-fan).
All questions are original, and each carries a source (government, official, or primary sources preferred); an explanation and the source are shown after you answer. Names such as “… kentei (quiz)” are a descriptive use to explain content or preparation and are unrelated to the bodies that run those exams. We do not offer certification, partnership, or any pass guarantee.
Two editions
Web edition (free, with ads) runs right in your browser.
Installed edition (PWA / streaming mode): add it to your home screen for an ad-free, 16:9, keyboard-first layout made for streaming. Live streaming and commentary are welcome (see the streaming guide).
Content quality & corrections
We cover only facts that can be verified from public information, and avoid discriminatory, politically biased, or gratuitous content. We take care with accuracy, but if you spot an error — or want to request a region — you can use the “Report an error / Request a region” form on each page (no account needed).
