How would you translate "10 facts about Japan"?

I looked it up but there seem to be many translations for "fact", and I'm not
sure if I should use ないじつ, じこう or something else.

How to say "fact" in Japanese
Depending on the severity of what you are trying to convey, there are
different options.

If it's very objective matter -- possibly a strong or stern tone like in a
news report or something -- I think `事実` is probably best. This would best
suit a scenario like:

> 10 facts about Japan
>
>   1. The capital is Tokyo
>   2. The literacy rate is over 95%
>   3. ...
>

However, if it's something more casual -- for example, personal observations
that you're writing in a blog -- you might want to use `[豆知識]{まめ・ち・しき}`. This
translates more along the lines of "trivia", "fun facts", or "tidbits".
