When Taken: New game I'm liking

It can be very difficult. In terms of the language, Japanese language generally uses two "alphabets" at the same time: the Chinese characters and Japan's hiragana. The hiragana are easy to pick out because there's a finite number of them--like 30, but don't quote me. Chinese, on the other hand, only uses those pictographs, so it looks much more complex. The trouble is: sometimes Japanese doesn't need the hiragana (for signs and such) so it's hard to tell.

I also thought Hong Kong. I don't know why. Just thought it looked more Chinese.

My wife took one brief look and said Tokyo Station. Of course, she's from Tokyo. She told me to look at the sign and it says Tokyo Station (which I could definitely read if it had been clearer). She knew what it said because she knew what it was. 

In my defense, I don't think I've ever been outside Tokyo Station. I know the look inside the station from transferring lines.

I am guessing that you and I had the same guess for #4, but I beat you by a year, which is worth three points for some reason?  Probably some sort of weird scoring cliff there?  Just keep it within 15 years, I guess.

I guessed #5 based on the foliage in the picture, that and how far away your guess was.
