World Update I: Japan

A country rich with ancient tradition and bustling with future-facing innovation, Japan presents a stunning panorama of old and new, urban and remote, mountains, forests, cities and coastlines — now enhanced with remarkable graphical improvements that span the volcanic island chain. World Update I: Japan features a high-resolution digital elevation map across the entire country, high-resolution 3D photogrammetry for six prominent Japanese cities (Sendai, Takamatsu, Tokushima, Tokyo, Utsunomiya and Yokohama), and six exquisitely hand-crafted airports (Hachijojima, Kerama, Kushiro, Nagasaki, Shimojishima and Suwanosejima). We also added a new pagoda-style architecture, and hand-crafted nearly two dozen custom landmarks and points of interest to invite simmers to explore the area’s timeless World Heritage sites, towering neon skyscrapers, iconic bridges and sacred shrines.
