For families and teachers

Use the name guide as support, then try finding the same places in an atlas. Prefecture names are Japanese proper names, rather than overseas grade labels.

This English guide uses the original Chicodori Scratch project. Some labels remain in Japanese. You can explore and remix the project on Scratch.
