Yet another great update.  :thumbsup:

Still no trains :(  That brings it a bit down in my book.

Maybe change NAM automata plug-ins.
I use a plugin called: NetworkAddonMod_Automata_Plugin_Radical_Automata24.dat
That gives me a lot more traffic including trains.

art128

Looking great there. I like the river too.

I agree with Vester about the trains. :)

Thats all for this update... thanks for viewing...  ;)

vester

Another great update.  :thumbsup:

Not sure what to do about the trains and NAM plug-ins.
What you could do is to disconnect a few road between the stations / cities / citycenters, or place a few road blocker to force the sims to use the trains.

art128

Nice update once again. :)

Love the work with the various Danchi.

Can you please resize the third picture?

The city looks great! I love how densely it's built up without solely relying on a grid road pattern. This makes the city overall more interesting :thumbsup:
These diagonal road sections and the motorway look great.

Unfortunately the elevated avenue doesn't work for me as I seem to be missing the road textures and couldn't find them anywhere  %confuso
Maybe one could try making a T21 mod for the 7.5m networks to have this skin... It would definitely help making long elevated road/avenue sections look better
MD coming soon...

Really enjoying finding this CJ recently and going through the older posts, it's providing plenty inspiration for a Japanese region I'm currently planning. Great to see the diversity of Japanese buildings available, now if only I can find it all myself  :D. Look forward to seeing more of your great cities.

I don't fully understand how they can not have road textures, but I'd guess you want to re-install the NAM perhaps since they should come with it.

The overpass skin is part of the Japanese NAM Facelift mod, the skin works for both 7.5m and 15m networks, however since 7.5m networks don't have ramps its usually more compact to use 15m versions in urban spaces. The third item (Neko_Overpass_AddOn_Lot.zip) listed on the link above is a Mod by Neko that adds both small and long ramps for the 7.5m networks which provides a neat solution to this problem, it also comes with under-overpass parking lots too.

No matter how many times I look at these images, I am always kept in awe.

I'll second that any time - they're truly stunning and the water-ways make them really come alive!

A question, though: The high tech district, is that zoned as industrial zone and does it provide industrial jobs?
Come join me on a hike to St Edmea!

Update 12: 桜の栞 | Sakura no Shiori (Mikawa)

Mikawa, also known as 1000 years capital city was the imperial capital of older Nakahara until it moved to Shizuku (now its named Shinkyo).

This city stand in the Mikawa bay (三河湾), in the Naoshima island (直島), western part of Nakahara. it located in the middle of valley between a mountainous region of Naoshima. Standing next to Kinai City (畿内市) of Kinai Prefecture (畿内県) in north, both city creates Nakahara 5th largest metropolitan area just below Ayukawa with population 4.7 millions people inside. Mikawa used to be Nakahara's largest city prior to the Tanaka Shogunate capital movement to Shizuku in 16th century, later on Mikawa surpassed by Nagawa in 17th century, Ayukawa and Fujiyoshi in 1947, Atarashima in 1956 if the latest trend increasing, it would fall bellow Miyazaki City in mid-2015.




Hongawa Castle (本川城), a Nakaharan castle in Shimogyo Ward (下京区), Mikawa. The original castle build in 17th century as the resident of Tanaka Shogunate in Mikawa at that time... the original castle heavily damaged during 1867 siege of Mikawa, though later the castle reconstructed. Its opened to public as a museum since 1962.


Hongawa Castle in 1675


The front gate of castle today, as it can be seen that much of the area has been changed a lot since 17th century..


East of the castle lies a residential area.. this area still consist a lot of older buildings mixed with some modern one..


Nishiyama-dori, in the south of Castle area... this road lies to the Nishiyama ward (西山区) of Mikawa which consist of mountainous area.


Western part of Shimogyo Ward still can be seen a lot of older buildings mixed with some post war modern building in this area. City government enacted the development limit toward the area due to the historical preservation of the wards.


Northern part of Shimogyo Ward, just next door to Kamigyo ward, home of Mikawa Imperial Palace... both ward currently bordered with the Nishi-Mikawa rail line


Another picture from Nishi-Mikawa rail line, though this one fully in Shimogyo ward


Ikawa Station of Nishi-Mikawa rail line. this area can be seen fully developed with many modern buildings because its close to a busy rail line.


Nishi-Mikawa rail line crossing ikawa river, which also borders Shimogyo ward with Watarirouka Ward. Ikawa river itself is a branch river of bigger Ichikawa River (一川), which runs through western part of Mikawa.


Another shot of Ikawa river it can also seen the border within more older looking Shimogyo ward with more modern Watarirouka ward.


Shimogyo ward border with Nakagyo Ward (中京区) with Ichikawa River as the mark border between both ward and Nishi-Mikawa line as the border with Kamigyo Ward. Ichikawa River (一川) itself stand for First River of Mikawa, its the 2nd largest river of the city after Nakagawa (中川) in the middle of Mikawa and sightly larger than the third Kasukawa (粕川) which mark the eastern border of city and prefecture with Kinai Prefecture.

Well enough for today update.... it really longer than what I expect hahaha....
