Jan 06 (soranews24.com) - We’ve seen rankings of all 47 prefectures in Japan before, judging everything from their amount of overwork to their residents’ average bust size.
But now it’s time to answer the real question that we all want to know when it comes to how the prefectures stack up: which ones would make the best weapons for hand-to-hand combat?
The survey was conducted at the Japanese website Town Net, where residents from all over the country cast their votes for the deadliest-looking prefectures.
Here’s how the top prefectures came out:
Ishikawa Prefecture — 111 votes — 12.9 percent
KÅchi Prefecture — 110 votes — 12.8 percent
Fukui Prefecture — 77 votes — 9.0 percent
Aomori Prefecture — 70 votes — 8.2 percent
Niigata Prefecture — 64 votes — 7.5 percent
With its long, slender shape, Ishikawa is the perfect prefecture to grab and cudgel your opponent with one hand. Plus as one reader explained, it also bears a striking resemblance to a bottle opener, giving it extra function to crack open a victory drink.
