The Japanese have very expensive – but powerful – military units, such as the Samurai, Ashigaru Musketeers, Yumi Archers, Yabusame, and Naginata Riders, as well as artillery units such as Flaming Arrows and Morutaru. As a special advantage, most cards in the Japanese Home City may be sent twice. The Japanese may also build Cherry Orchards, which are built from freely-obtained Rickshaws. The Shrines also act as houses they support 10 population.

Building Shrines around huntables or herdables will attract them to the Shrine, with each huntable or herdable animal increasing the amount of resources that the Shrine generates.

They build Shrines to gain a small trickle of whatever resource you set them to, even experience, with a high-level Home City. The Japanese are a strong civilization, but they cannot gather food via herding or hunting.
