It’s no surprise that Japanese culture has taken over the world.
Just look at the appliances you use at home, the snacks you crave for, the shows you binge, and maybe even the philosophy you subscribe to.
Japanese culture has given us so many great things. And that includes the company that produced one of the consoles that we can play The Sims 4 on!
And with that said, it seems like a no-brainer to let our Sims in on the fun.
So let’s take a peek at some of the coolest Japanese-themed CC you can get for TS4.
15. Kanzashi-style Hair Ornaments Set
The Kanzashi are much more than just your everyday hair ornaments.
Originating in the Jomon Period, Kanzashi were believed to have the power to ward off evil spirits.
Whether you believe that or not, you can’t deny that they would look absolutely cute on your Sims.
14. Parasol
Just like Kanzashi, the Japanese Parasol serves a bigger purpose than just being a fancy umbrella.
Other than protecting Sims from the heat of the sun, these are used as props in traditional dances and tea ceremonies, and (again) for warding off evil spirits during weddings.
Natalia-Auditore’s version of the Parasol has over 36 swatches, which means you’re bound to find a suitable match for any kimono in your wardrobe!
And speaking of kimonos…
13. No sin mi kimono! (Part V)
You’d be hard-pressed to find a more recognizable symbol of Japanese culture than the kimono.
Like Mount Fuji, sushi, and anime, the Kimono is something you simply can’t miss when visiting the Land of the Rising Sun.
If you’re aiming for a 100% authentic Japanese vibe for your Sims, then this kimono CC by Yellow Jealousy is a definite must-have.
12. No sin mi kimono! (Part II)
Unlike in Western and Western-influenced countries, Japanese men have no qualms at all about wearing what some might consider as “effeminate clothing”.
That’s why – in case you haven’t heard – there are kimonos for men too!
Yellow Jealousy gets a second shout-out in this list with this male kimono that can be customized with different colors and patterns.
And if you’re looking for even more kimono CC options, well we’ve got you covered.
11. Asian Bathroom
The bathroom is one of the most important rooms in every home.
It’s where you get ready for the day, and it’s where you wash away your troubles at the end of it.
Your Sim needs something that goes beyond just a place to bathe and do their business.
For that, look no further than Severinka’s Asian Bathroom CC set.
With luxuries like a traditional tub, bath ofuro, and fan-shaped mirror, your Sims will come out fully refreshed and ready for anything you throw at them.
10. Asian Snack Set
When you think about Japanese cuisine, it’s really not for everyone.
Yet somehow it’s universally beloved.
Ask anyone from any part of the world if they’re into sushi and ramen and you’re bound to get a resounding “Yes!”
And despite being a simulation, it’s safe to assume that our Sims would be no different.
If you don’t believe me, maybe treat them to this Asian Snack CC Set by Noir and Dark Sims – and watch your Sims drool!
9. Edible Sushi
It’s true that there’s already edible sushi available in the base game. But that requires cooking and fishing.
And honestly, who has time for that?
With NewOne’s edible sushi CC, your Sims can satisfy their cravings anytime and anywhere.
This set even comes with enough recolors and trays for your Sims to open their own bar/restaurant!
8. Japanese Hot Tub
There’s nothing like a soak in a hot tub after a long and stressful day.
And not everyone can afford hot tubs IRL.
But luckily, they’re absolutely free for Sims!
Coming in 3 different rock colors plus green and brown bamboo water spouts, these natural hot springs are a perfect addition to your ideal patio.
7. Tokyo Windows, Doors, and More
Now this CC by mutske is the decor set you need for more zen stuff in-game.
Mutske blessed us with this pack that has over 15 items to use, including custom windows, doors, arches, and roof deco.
Just make sure your game’s fully patched and up to date to get that chill Tokyo vibe.
6. Dojo Deco
You can’t actually become a samurai – you have to be born into it.
But at least your Sims can experience what it’s like to train as one with this dojo deco CC!
Complete with punching bags, treadmills, climbing walls, and other physically exhausting equipment, your Sim can now learn what it takes to become a (virtual) Samurai warrior.
5. Slice of Life CC Set
Dining out at fancy restaurants is fun and all, but nothing beats having an intimate dinner at home.
This Kotatsu Table CC gives your Sims just that, consisting of throw pillows and over 16 swatches so you can personalize it any way you like.
Just note that the complete set will be costly.
But it’s a small price to pay to enjoy an authentic Japanese dining experience.
4. Asian Deco
This Asian Deco CC is worth downloading if you’re looking for that oriental touch.
The bonsai trees add a hint of zen, while the lamps and fans give your walls more character.
There are also Asian dishes you can serve to impress your guests during a Japanese-themed dinner!
And if all else fails, just hang the panda portrait on your wall – you can never go wrong with an adorable panda.
3. Traditional Japanese Room
Transform your Sim’s living room into that of a typical slice of life anime with this CC by ONI!
Items here include a shoji or Japanese sliding doors, a vintage television, tatami mat, and plenty more to provide quiet evenings a distinct Japanese atmosphere.
So gather your virtual family to chill out and sip some tea, because why not?
2. Tree Swing with Lamps
TheKalino has exactly what you need to get those kawaii confessions!
This custom tree swing is pretty self-explanatory, and the look clearly fits the Japanese aesthetic.
But don’t let its simplicity fool you.
With four unique versions, this CC is a surefire way to set the mood for a romantic evening.
1. Mitarasi Sims
One of Japan’s most intriguing aspects is how remnants of its history can blend in so well with its modern scenery.
The country is known for its technological advancements, yet wherever you go, you’re bound to find structures from the past at almost every corner.
This makes the surroundings stand out compared to your typical metropolis filled with towering skyscrapers.
And now you can replicate that aesthetic in The Sims 4 with this Mitarasi CC set by Noir and Dark Sims.
