Setting Up a Base in the Village

Choose Your Location Wisely

Identify an empty building or clear area that appeals to you. Consider proximity to resources—areas near water are useful for fishing and gathering, while clearings near the pagoda offer good visibility. Avoid blocking pathways between major structures so you don't disrupt the village's layout.

Prepare Your Space

Clear out one of the decorated rooms or claim an entire small building if available. Add your own crafting stations, storage, and furnaces while respecting the existing architecture. Many players choose to work within the Japanese aesthetic by using similar wood types and design principles.

Establish Utilities

Set up a water source for infinite water supply—the village's water features make this convenient. Create a small farm in a nearby clearing, keeping it visually consistent with the surroundings. Consider building a pathway with lanterns connecting your base to frequently visited locations like the onsen or shrine areas.

Respect the Map

Avoid major structural changes to the original buildings and landscape. The beauty of this map lies in its cohesive design, so additions work best when they complement rather than replace existing elements.
