Tier 1: Premium Landmarks
Target: Shibuya Crossing, Tokyo Tower, Imperial Palace, Kyoto Fushimi Inari, Osaka Dotonbori.
Highest recognition, highest demand. Often sold out or expensive. Adjacent tiles can offer value.
Tier 2: Major Districts
Target: Shinjuku, Harajuku, Ginza, Akihabara, Gion (Kyoto), Umeda (Osaka).
Strong recognition, good tourist flow. May have more availability than Tier 1.
Tier 3: Emerging / Undervalued
Target: Hakone onsen towns, Nara Park, Hiroshima Peace Memorial, Sapporo, Okinawa beaches.
Lower competition, potential upside if Japan metaverse interest grows. See Hokkaido vs Okinawa Earth2.
Strategy Tips
- Landmark adjacency: Tiles next to icons can benefit from proximity.
- Cluster: Own multiple tiles in one area for future development potential.
- Diversify: Spread across Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka to reduce concentration risk.
- Research: Use Earth2 map to compare prices and availability.
- Budget: Set a limit. Virtual land is speculative.
