    Your city makes me travel to the other side of the world!

    I like the choice of buildings chosen to give it an Asian look!
    The construction, positioning of buildings and road infrastructure are perfectly done!

    What I like the most is your first photos which present the city from a bird's eye view!

    This allows you to see that the city is perfectly reflected, following the rivers and the relief!
    That's wonderful!

    I congratulate you on your excellent work!

    Another magnificent Asian city of yours! I can see how you invested your lifetime into re-creating even the smallest details one can spot in Japanese cities!

    For example that railyard right next to the splendidly designed modern main station! One can find such complexes quite often in mid-sized Japanese cities (Nagano, Niigata, Okayama, Takasaki,...). And the approaches look great as well! And then you of course have the functional looking business district right next to the station. Very well done, and close to reality!

    What I also love is your port! I guess that @Project_Oz now has to decide which port he likes the most :D I mean, yes, it's densely built, but that's again just the way that Japanese ports look like. I really like the way you tried to create a vibrant urban atmosphere around the port, with the expressway and the bridge running right through the area. And I like how you put the railyard and the stadium next to the container terminal! It once again enhances that hustle and bustle atmosphere there, and shows how Japanese city planners use truly every little area they can :)

    And that Americanized business district looks fantastic! I was like "Where is the night view?!", when I scrolled down just a bit at first, but in the end, you did not fail us :D

    Congratulations on the Sunrise Shrine! I was really stunned for a while, because the area looks so scenic! Lovely done :)

    Your suburbs also look well-designed, I'm eager to see more of them!

    Keep it coming :)

    And yeah, I know you are using right-side roads, which does not make it look like a Japanese city. But I think it's fine, because the English roads look really shitty, and they have those huge stop marks on them at crossings... Also, it's still a fictional city, so it's totally fine!!!

      Thanks a lot for your review! Very detailed as usual but it's really nice to know, that the details and ways I tried to build this city are being recognized :D

      Indeed it was my intention to let it look pretty dense. Visiting japanese cities gives you a feeling, that they put everything possible and even more into a space that's actually too small for it. That in mind I even did too few!

      I took some pictures myself of the Okayama railyards and used these in parts as inspiration for Kawashima ;)

      In past cities I didn't like the use of the in-game English roads. The crossings are nice, but that's it. Also this is a fantasy city and not actually situated in real life Japan...

      Thanks again and find out more son :)
