Your island is simply not complete without trying this design.
To create this, build a cliff and then create a waterfall running into a river through your island. You can see this in the middle of the screenshot above.
You can then add two brown zen bridges, one on top of the cliff and one on the bottom level.
Be sure to add lots of cherry blossom items, and of course lots of cherry blossom trees too.
To complete the finished look, add a bunch of custom stalls with added bonsai trees. And of course don’t forget to add a pagoda.
To create this bustling shopping area on your island, you can start by laying down some stone paths.
You can add some cliffs on either side of your main path area and fill them up with custom stalls, and you can customize these with your favorite designs and products to sell at your market.
Don’t forget to add lots of neon signs and utility poles to get that true Tokyo market vibe.
Lastly add lots of cherry blossom items, and of course don’t forget the moon to cast that evening glow.
Everyone wants a Japanese inspired school on their island… not just me, right?
Start by building a cliff, and you can place custom panels and stalls in front of the cliff edge, then you can decorate these with any of your preferred Japanese designs.
Add some brick steps leading up to the first level, then you can then add marketplace decorations all around.
Maybe add some golden seats too, and watch your school come to life.
Throw in some frozen pillars and arches, and you can edit the colors of these to match whatever you want. Red fits the theme perfectly.
Finish by adding some bonsai trees and bikes outside.
You can create this Japanese-inspired neighbourhood street by customizing some simple panels with housing designs. You can also customize stalls in the same design to place on top.
Be sure to add lots of different types of plants to the area as well!
You can also add some washing lines outside, and some utility poles to stick with the theme.
Also, look into custom pavement designs on the ground. The right design can make or break your little street.
Finish by adding some cardboard boxes and a bike outside.
Who doesn’t want their own private meditation area?
It’s not as complicated as it looks. All you need to create this area is a few bookcases and simple panels.
First flip the bookcases so you’re looking at the back of the case. You can then create some simple panels with your favorite Japanese-style design and push those up against the bookcases to look like walls.
Then put down some custom wooden designs for some flooring, and fill the area with books and pillows. You know, calming stuff.
Maybe add some plants in there too, along with some flowers to complete the look.
Is your island even complete if you don’t have a Japanese restaurant?
The outside of this restaurant was created with custom stalls lined up around the edges. You can also place your restaurant next to a river for the ultimate view while you dine.
Then you can then decorate your restaurant by adding some rugs, or your own custom designs to the floors like you see above.
Make sure you add some tables and some floor cushions for seating.
Finish by adding condiments to the tables and some cherry blossom lamps outside your restaurant.
If your island is a mix between the city and the forest, you’ll adore this look.
Create this yourself by building a section of cliff in your favourite spot. You can then add some waterfalls running down through the cliffs (if you like the fancy stuff).
Make sure to add stone steps going up to the top level, and on each of the cliff edges be sure to decorate with lots of lanterns.
Finish the look by placing a pagoda on top, overlooking the whole island.
To create this area, all you need to do is start by digging out a river running through your island. You can then add the zen bridge going across to stick with the theme.
Decorate either side of the river by adding lanterns, bamboo items, and maybe a gong.
Don’t forget to add plenty of flowers around the area, too.
And maybe help mother Earth by planting a host of bamboo trees.
This has to be my absolute favorite Japanese themed area, created to look almost like a temple.
It really is a spectacular addition to any island.
The bulk of this design is created with simple panels customized with easy-to-make designs; you can layer these up on different levels to create the temple in full.
Make sure to add lots of cherry blossom trees for this theme as well.
You can also add a bunch of candles to give it that calming glow. Maybe toss in some tall lanterns, some Japanese-style fencing, and of course the big rock-head statue.
And now we’ve got our very own benevolent Japanese island god.
