About this event

The Asuka-Fujiwara Complete Museum Certification Test is an examination that certifies the depth of knowledge across a wide range of topics related to the Asuka-Fujiwara area, including its history, culture, natural environment, and tourism. Through this exam, it aims to help participants rediscover the wonders of the Asuka-Fujiwara area and foster more enthusiasts for the region. The test is divided into three levels: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced, each with different question scopes and passing criteria. The Beginner level tests basic knowledge, the Intermediate level tests advanced knowledge, and the Advanced level tests specialized expertise. Anyone capable of taking the exam at designated venues is eligible regardless of academic background, gender, or nationality; however, the Intermediate level is open only to those who have passed the Beginner level, and the Advanced level is open only to those who have passed the Intermediate level. The exam scope covers cultural assets related to Asuka-Fujiwara, historical landscapes, literature such as the Manyoshu, place names and legends, folkloric events, and relevant laws and regulations. Results will be mailed to registered addresses around late January 2027. The test will be administered at three venues: Asuka-Fujiwara Venue (Kashihara Chamber of Commerce and Industry Building), Nara Venue (Tezukayama University Higashi-Ikoma Campus), and Tokyo Venue (Parks and Open Space Association of Japan).
