Dai-mushitsu

Eijitsu (other name of Yonil city, South Korea)

Ah Google, the answer to (quite) any question. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />
Mapquest is a good tool too to find "rare letter" cities; I just choose the country map and type the first letter in the city square; it gives a list of the cities begining by that letter. But sometimes it gives a "translated city name" so we always have to check further. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

No F i found

Gangneung (all Cities in Korea i have found with G you can also write with K)

"Hamhung (Hamhung-si) is the capital of South Hamgyong Province, North Korea. It is an industrial city which serves as a major port for North Korean foreign trade. Production includes textiles, metalware, machinery, refined oil and processed food. Yi Seonggye, the founder of the Yi dynasty, the last imperial line of Korea, was born in the city."

Mokpo

Mokpo (Mokpo-si) is a city in South Jeolla Province, South Korea, on the southwestern tip of the Korean Peninsula. Mokpo has frequent train service to Seoul and is the terminus for a number of ferry routes serving islands in the adjacent Yellow Sea. The city is currently constructing the South Jeolla provincial office, which will cement its status as the capital of the region following nearby Gwangju becoming a self-administering special-status city. A recently released movie "Mokpo hangbu" or "Mokpo harbour" reflects a rather undeserved reputation for this sleepy port city as being a centre of organized crime in Korea. The harbour area is not far from Yudal mountain, a picturesque area with numerous tourist facilities.
