one of my absolute favorites

This is def my favorite game on Apple Arcade by far, the animation is amazing and so cozy, there’s a lot of stuff to do so it takes a min to finish the game. I’ve noticed there is some open ended things in the game like the booth during the summer festival, I’m hoping there’s an update very soon as I just completed everything you can get in the game excluding all the different medals which would take forever. I really love this game though and I highly recommend getting it, it also helped me learn more about Japanese culture which I really enjoyed. Thank you so much to the creators, I’m looking forward to the next update or maybe something new that y’all create!

Amazing

If you like farm games where you don’t just have to grow crops all day this is one of those farm games you can rebuild the old town have a kitten and a puppy also there is no adds😎

One suggestion

Amazing game but one addition that I would want is the Zen Buddhism part of Japanese culture. Zen Buddhism played a part in Japanese culture during the Edo Period and has a connection with manga history
especially in the earliest parts. Some parts of manga also show this connection in panels with an empty street, or panels that focus on not having not much detail.

Game Softlocked Me Into Not Being Able To Complete Turtle Hatching

Japan Rural is a great game - don’t get me wrong, I’ve been playing since 2023, reached top 1% and it has been enjoyable the full way through. I was recently trying to complete the turtle egg hatching again, after last time reaching the beach , taking photos of the mother turtle and then immediately ran home to bed, ignorant of the fact that I had to stay up late. I then ran back down to the beach the following morning as fast as humanly possible, to find no turtle eggs, and disappointed me decided to wait until the next virtual in game year to try again. When I finally went back to the beach at night, I found no mother turtle, nothing to take photos of, which I took no notice of because I had done it before so why would I. But then, after waiting weeks to get back to late April and doing all the process again, I am sad to say that I cannot 100% Japan Rural if the turtle eggs do not appear. Love this game, but devs please fix this.

help!!

All rivers and ponds in my save file have no fish, making fishing impossible. Fishing used to work normally, and I haven't modified the game—only a partial save file corruption occurred. Insects still spawn normally, but all fish have completely disappeared.

This is the best game

I Love it

любимая игра!

впервые нахожу игру с таким приятным интерфейсом. затягивает и не надоедает, всегда позволяет расслабиться.

Response from developer

Спасибо за замечательный отзыв!

a new favourite

this game is the perfect blend of serene little tasks, cute animations, intricate crafting and a touch of melancholy to the writing that makes me connect with it so deeply. it’s entertaining, beautiful, a work of art in my opinion. now just let me date the teacher and it will have everything you could ever want in a farming life sim!

Love this game

I love this game, but a glitch happened where when the cats get to 100% friendship they glitch and stay at 90 and get renamed xxx.

My life after going on adventures in Japanese rural life

Makes me value my time, reflects on what I do in real life, helped me understand that work can be enjoyable

Love this game

It’s a lot like Stardew valley but that game is more time consuming to do things .this is the best game I ever played I really enjoy it 😊

отличная игра, но есть над чем работать

1. Слишком ограниченно меню для кормления собаки. На дворе лето, а пес хочет либо запеченую картошку, либо касивамоти. Картофель приготовить невозможно (нужно ждать осень), а касивомоти не приготовить без пасты анко, которая готовится из фасоли, которую нужно собирать осенью. Пес голодный все лето.

2. Хотелось бы иметь возможность купить поливалку, чтобы она поливала полностью ряд грядки или всю грядку.

3. Было бы здорово иметь возможность прокачивать скорость ходьбы или менять на бег / купить велосипед.

4. было бы классно, если бы как и в майнкрафт можно было бы собирать несколько одинаковых стаков — сейчас можно собрать только 99 штук одного предмета. и не всегда можно заметить что ты уже собрал, например, 99 штук камней и из-за этого продолжаешь их собирать. а потом узнаешь, что последние несколько минут были потрачены в пустую. хотя бы предупреждение бы было «вы собрали максимум камней».

Not a lot of things to do

I am on my third year of this game. Barely a storyline, the npcs do not interact much. Only mc is doing all the work while others are so useless. The english pmo like could’ve put latin names for the fishes and creatures but instead developer is putting romanized japanese for it like who would understand it

Still playing

Still love this game! I always look forward to an update. I hope the developers know we are still playing and enjoying the game and hope for many more updates. I miss working at the spirit hotel. Something new for that would be greatly appreciated!!

Nice game but there are some problems.

It’s a good game, I love farming games and it allow too to learn about the costumes in the rural Japan, but no matter that there could be another problems and of course I don’t know if that if a limited line in the Arcade version, at least, there if a special problem that never allowed me to complete the whole calendar and there is not way to access the view of the Fuji Mountain no matter that the map and during the sale the Landlord said that. In fact without that is impossible to compliment one of the principal task in the game.

So calming so cute

I love this game so much it’s calming


And 100 stars

It’s an alright game…

TLDR: nice game but controls aren’t great, progression is extremely slow, you basically have to grind as soon as you start playing. The character needs to walk a little faster.
I like the game but the controls aren’t great. Having to tap the location you want your character to go to is annoying little annoying and the virtual gamepad doesn’t work sometimes. The character gets stuck just trying to walk around a bush it will stop walking. There are a lot of times where it won’t even register the gamepad. Trying to move around is just annoying especially with how big the map is. The character walks slow and having to go all the way around to get to the bottom of the map…. I’m only just starting and the bridge should have been one of the first things you could unlock.
Overall, it’s not a bad game. Trying to make money is a little tough bc no matter how many fish you catch, you can have 15 of one kind of fish, but can’t sell bc you have to bundle it with a second fish. So basically you have to tell two separate kinds of fish together or you can’t sell at all. Same for the critters. Again it’s just annoying and exhausting. By the time I’m done trying to make money the whole day is gone bc of having to sleep to regain energy. Even if you have food that could restore your energy, your character can’t just eat it. They have to either be back at their house or have a picnic to be able to eat.
