Makino

By Feo1337,

Here's start the second part of this CJ, we will start deep in the centre of Hirohashi City and we'll follow a railway line toward the industrial suburbs of the International Hirohashi Port Replies: @gogosago: thanks! and about the GDP, as a city state based on finance Hirohashi is abviously a rich country, most of the poor strata are immigrants that aren't residents, that's why the GDP os very high @TowerDude: glad you like it! it was quite difficult to figure what effect use to give a 50s feeling...

Special: History

By Feo1337,

As promised here's a view of the history of Hirohashi Replies: @Benedict, Skimbo, escilnavia, skyscraper241, SimcityFuturist, Schulmanator: Thanks! @NMUSpidey, blunder, k50dude: Thank you, I really love SC4 region views, cities looks more "organic" in it. @TowerDude: you're welcome! While human presence in the national territory is ascertained since prehistorical times, the archeological finds denote only a nomadical presence and no permanent human settlements are confirmed. Since the 16th century, during...

Hanazawa

By Feo1337,

Replies @TowerDude: thanks, in this update i've used that streetmod you suggested to me, the effect it's way better expecially for neighborhood of small asian houses @panthersimcity4 & 111222333444: thank you! Time to go rural! Hanazawa Rural Community it's a administrative division made by four villages situated between Kaneda and Saito cities. Rice paddies are everywhere in Hanazawa and rural houses built between them are a very common view. Agricolture was not widespread in the country till the end of...

Kaneda

By Feo1337,

Replies @TowerDude & 7891122562059523: thank you! the main goal of this CJ is to be as realistic as possible! @Adrianor: you're right! in the last mosaic I removed it only in one of the two city. Passed Inoue District we follow Saito Line through the suburbs towards its terminus at Saito City. Despite the common image of dense skyscrapers suburbs like this one are very common in Hirohashi. Kaneda was once a village on the eastern shore of the river estuary but with the population grow of the last twenty...

Inoue

By Feo1337,

After a very long pause I'm back with the second entry of this City Journal! Inoue District is in front of Asumi District, just across the River. Has historically been a working class industrial district but in the last ten years the gentrification process has led to the rise of many highrise condos along the waterfront. Inoue district began to develop during the period of Japanese colonization, when some small food factories settled in the area after the opening of Tennobashi (now Tower Bridge). With the...

This will be my first City Journal, it's also my first asian themed city after a bunch of European ones. As I am not native english speaker please excuse me if I will make some errors. The city-state of Hirohashi is a small nation, once part of the Japanese Empire, bordering with China, North Korea and the Russian Far East. Born as a small japanese trading post, evolved into the so called "Manshū no kita no tobira" (Northern Gateway for Manchuria) during the Japanese Empire, reduced to a dangerous and...
