Decision quiz

  1. 1. Who is travelling?

  2. 2. What is the trip about?

  3. 3. Budget per night?

  4. 4. How long in Osaka?

  5. 5. What matters most?

Pick one option in each row above. The recommendation appears here.

How the quiz scores

Each answer adds weight to neighbourhoods that fit it. The five questions stack: who, focus, budget, length, priority. Scores are summed, the top two become the primary and secondary recommendations, and the third becomes a skip-this-if advisory. Disqualifiers are explicit. Shin-Osaka is only the winner when the input pattern is business + 1 to 2 nights + transit-priority. Kyoto-side is only the winner when the focus is day trips and the trip is six nights or more.

The matrix logic is the same one used by the homepage table: it follows the destination-character notes from Inside Osaka and Lonely Planet Japan and the Booking.com aggregate price-tier data per neighbourhood. The quiz is a faster way to read the same table.
