About & operator info
LoreMania (ご当地マニア検定) is a local-knowledge quiz about the regions of Japan, played across difficulty-based courses — a quiet invitation into the stories of a place.
About this service
Quizzes are split into difficulty-based courses — Casual, Standard, and Mania (rolling out region by region). Questions get progressively harder within each course, and clearing one earns you that course’s title.
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. Alongside the quizzes, we also publish a glossary of regional terms and explainer articles. Names such as “… kentei (quiz)” are adescriptive 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): add it to your home screen for the same screens with no ads, working offline and staying stable. Live streaming and commentary are welcome (see thestreaming guide). With no ads shown, it’s also a safe, worry-free choice for students and children.
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 contact form (no account needed).
Editorial & sourcing policy
Every question and article is written in-house — never scraped or auto-generated. We prefer official and primary sources (government bodies, official tourism and cultural institutions); where accounts differ we label them as such, and readings and origins follow official or primary references. Each question shows its explanation and source after you answer, and the glossary links names back to the same sources, so anything on the site can be verified. We do not republish another work’s text wholesale; where we quote, we clearly set the quotation apart, credit the source, and keep it subordinate to our own writing.
