Kind of kicked my ass too, but not nearly so much as it kicked yours.

And to return the favor.

My challenge (not a great effort, but but saved by really nailing one)

No Google, no movement other than spinning.

Beat you. With some horrible guesses

I'm assuming that "no moving" at least allows a 360?

Spoiler:
Dang, was on you until Alaska fooled me twice in a row.
So did you know where Hakone was, or did you just find it? I gave up zooming in and scrolling and guessed northward based on people being bundled up.

Spoiler:
I knew that Hakone is between Tokyo and Osaka (remembered the signs from when on the bullet train), never saw it on the map, just got even luckier in my guessing.

New challenge. Rotation and zooming only.

Damn, despite your success in the orient, I was doing well until the last one. Pooh. You win I do find it curious how close our A and B's were.

*sigh*
Despite a heroic last guess, I could not make up for what I did on 'A'

Came out ahead but slightly unfair on my part. I've had C before. Not just kind of that place but that exact starting location.

So I guess the selections aren't entirely random from all of Google streetview.

And my challenge back for the day. Sadly, being able to read all of the signs in A didn't help a lick.
