How To Make A Japanese-Themed Island/Town

Japanese Town Design Ideas

  • Place tons of "Zen" furniture
  • Lay down stone paths with the Island Designer
  • Grow lots of bamboo
  • Make bridges and stairs out of stone

Place "Zen" (Japanese) Furniture

Japanese Furniture

So, you want to make your island give off an old-fashioned Japanese vibe? Unsurprisingly, you're going to need tons of Japanese furniture - in game this series of items is called "Zen". In particular, you'll really need the Zen Fence, so check your Nook Stop every day for fences!

Use Island Designer To Lay Down Stone Paths

枯山水

Once you unlock the Island Designer tool, you'll be able to change the path tiles on your island. For this theme, we recommend you use the Stone Path, as it fits well with this theme. You could also use Custom Designs to make flooring more similar to a mossy Zen garden as well!

Grow Lots Of Bamboo

Growing bamboo trees next to your stone paths will really add to that Japanese-style atmosphere you're going for! Try placing a lot of similar bamboo furniture as well!

Make Bridges And Stairs Out Of Stone

Try making your bridges and stairs out of stone as well. There are also 2 "Zen" bridges you could use!

Matching Furniture Sets To Use

4 Sets That Work Well With A Japanese Theme

※ "North" and "South" refer to the two hemispheres!!

Seasonal SetWhen To Get Recipes
Cherry BlossomCherry BlossomNorth: 4/1〜4/10
South: 10/1〜10/10
BambooYoung Spring BambooNorth: 2/25~5/31
South: 8/25~11/31
BambooBambooTBD
Maple LeafMaple LeafNorth: 11/16~11/25
South: 5/16~5/26

When you think of Japan, what comes to mind? Probably the beautiful pink colors of the Cherry Blossom! In addition to that, seasonal furniture, including things made of bamboo fit in well with the aesthetic. Japan also experiences wonderful autumn leaves, so including some red maple leaf furniture for color contrast is also a good idea.

The spinning top (Dreidel) is a Jewish item. It has Hebrew written on them. Just FYI
