Japan terrain
Mainland Japan
The mainland Japan terrain combines open-source 1-meter imagery with 30-meter elevation data, achieving a balance between visual detail and high-performance. Vegetation has been enhanced with MVRsimulation's library of tree models applied to OpenStreetMap forest polygons to accurately represent forested areas. This enhanced 3D terrain provides an immersive and accurate representation of Japan, ideal for simulation and training scenarios.
Source for Elevation Data: Geospatial Information Authority of Japan, referred to as "GSI tiles." Details on tile sources can be found on the GSI tile list page.
Okinawa
MVRsimulation has built high-resolution geospecific 3D terrain of the main island of Okinawa.
The Okinawa terrain is comprised of 30-50cm high-resolution imagery, covering much of the Okinawa Prefecture including the Main Island of Okinawa, Kerama, Iheya, Izena, Aguni, le, Yoron, and Lotorishima islands. The underlying elevation data was built from 30m SRTM data.
The Okinawa terrain is populated with Esri CityEngine buildings and geo-typical VRSG models.

The Okinawa terrain also includes a model of Kadena Air Base (RODN), Futenma Air Base (ROTM), and Naha Airport (ROAH). The main island is also populated with several thousand geo-typical tree models, CityEngine buildings, and geotypical models from MVRsimulation's robust culture model libraries.

Mount Fuji
VRSG's terrain at Mount Fuji was built with 50cm orthoimagery and SRTM elevation data blended seamlessly with our existing underlying terrain of Japan. The terrain in and around Mount Fuji is also populated with several thousand tree models.

Miyako and Ishigaki
VRSG's Okinawa prefecture terrain also includes 3D terrain of the islands of Miyako and Ishigaki, Japan, built with 50cm Maxar imagery with 30 meter SRTM elevation data; and a high-resolution geospecific model inset of Yashima Jinko Island.
Features of the Miyako and Ishigaki terrain inset include wind turbine models, antenna models, more than 33,000 individually placed tree models, 1300+ tree canopies from OpenStreetMap (OSM) tree polygons, 36,000+ CityEngine buildings extruded from OSM building footprints, and 5,500+ compiled-in road vectors from OSM.

Ishigaki Island, the largest of the Yaeyama Islands, covers about 228 square kilometers. The terrain includes a replica of the Southern Gate Bridge, and a handmade geospecific inset of Ishigaki Port, which functions as a gateway for mainland Japan and other countries in Southeast Asia. The Port terrain inset covers an area of 5 square kilometers, and includes more than 70 unique geospecific buildings, and around 350 textures. The database includes geospecific lighthouses, breakwaters, and yacht piers; and hundreds of boats, containers, vegetation, and poles.

VRSG's Ishigaki terrain includes more than 70 unique geospecific buildings.
Miyako Island, situated in the southern Ryukyu Islands, between Okinawa's main island and Taiwan, spans approximately 158 square kilometers. The VRSG terrain of the island includes a high-resolution 3D replica of Miyako Port, featuring several unique geospecific buildings, boats, shipping containers, powerlines, and other distinctive models that enhance its realism. Additionally, the terrain incorporates CityEngine-generated buildings, compiled-in roads, and vegetation models throughout the island. A high-resolution replica of the Irabu Bridge, a 3,540-meter-long structure connecting Miyako Island to Irabu Island, is also included.
Miyako Island is situated in the southern Ryukyu Islands, between Okinawa's main island and Taiwan. The port supports the local economy, particularly through fishing, agriculture, and tourism. Equipped to handle both large cargo vessels and passenger ships, Miyako Port and its surrounding region have gained strategic importance in recent years due to growing geopolitical tensions in the East China Sea.
Miyako is built with 50cm Maxar imagery with 30 meter SRTM elevation data.
A high-resolution replica of the Irabu Bridge is included in the Miyako Port dataset.
Tokyo
The Tokyo, Japan terrain, comprised of 40cm orthoimagery and 10m elevation data, is comprised of thousands geotypical CityEngine models derived from OpenStreetMap (OSM). These footprints were extruded and textured using CityEngine CGA files to create detailed 3D models.
MVRsimulation created the Tokyo, Japan terrain based on "Elevation and Image Data" from the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan (GSI).
