Neither are my favourites, but Nara is better, a little more interesting and better colour.

Okinawa looks like an off centered Target logo

Tokyo - purple and silver go well together, and the double moon effect on Hiroshima doesn't do it for me.

Both horrible but I'm voting Saitama.

Brown has no business being on a flag

Yamaguchi - because we don't get enough brown on flags I think. Different is good here I reckon.

Saitama

"Sixteen red ornamental beads on white field. Saitama means ornamental bead and 16 beads in circle represent sun, development and strength. White stands for purity and friendship."

It's pretty and the reasoning is lovely too.
I'm sorry to say bye to hungry brown pacman but this is nicer over all

Yamaguchi, because it's dark wine, not brown, but either way it looks cool and annoys some people

Yamaguchi they got my vote for nearly pulling off using that sh1tty brown. Back in the year oh dot we decided to paint a "feature wall" that colour - COAB it looked like "H" blocks.

Saitama - fluttery red bits are quite nice, and I've hated the brown since Round 1.
