Like announced at the end of last year’s Korea Finder I am going to throw in a few Japan Finders to give the large number of ROK Drop readers in Japan a better chance to answer a few of the questions with places and people from their own home turf in Japan.Â
So who can name what and where this place is?
Here are this year’s Korea Finder Leadersboard:
1. Mark -2
2. Leon Laporte - 1
2. Rob - 1
Note that who ever totals the most points at the end of the year, I will purchase for them a Korea related book or DVD of their choice using the proceeds I have accumulated by readers purchasing items from the ROK Drop Shop. If you like this website than please support it by buying your books, DVDs, and other products through either the ROK Drop Shop or by searching for products through my Amazon toolbar on my right sidebar. Thanks.

That’s the original Benihana’s in Kumamoto. I always enjoyed the 1月ã®ãƒ‘ンティーç¥ã‚Š (January Panty Festival).

Dammit Ryoske, you nailed it.
That would have been my 2nd guess. **==

Yes this is a picture of Nijo Castle in Kyoto. It is the old Tokugawa residence in Kyoto. It is famous for its Nightingale floors that squeak to when someone walks on them to prevent assassins coming from behind. It is a beautiful place and a must see attraction in Kyoto.
