One documented route makes Japan in eight combinations: America + Tsunami = Japan. Start with Water, Fire, and Wind, build the ingredients in the sequence below, then combine America with Tsunami. Recipe guides differ, so if that final combination does not work in your game, try one of the other documented routes.
Eight-combination route: America + Tsunami
The following sequence is listed by a current recipe database. Each numbered line is one combination; keep the results available to use in later steps.
- Water + Water = Lake
- Fire + Fire = Volcano
- Water + Wind = Wave
- Lake + Volcano = Island
- Wave + Wave = Tsunami
- Island + Island = Continent
- Continent + Lake = America
- America + Tsunami = Japan
To combine elements, drag one block onto another. Begin with the basic elements Water, Fire, Wind, and Earth; this particular route uses Water, Fire, and Wind. The recipe page identifies Japan as the result of the final combination. Source: Infinite Craft Recipes.
What to try if the recipe does not work
Published guides list different combinations for Japan, and the available sources do not establish whether that reflects alternate valid recipes, a change in the game, or differences between recipe databases. Try one of these documented alternatives rather than assuming the eight-combination route is the only one.

- Archipelago + Asia = Japan: Infinite Craft Game gives this route. Its Archipelago chain is Lake + Water = Ocean; Ocean + Earth = Island; Island + Earth = Continent; and Island + Continent = Archipelago. Its Asia chain is Earth + Earth = Mountain, followed by Continent + Mountain = Asia. Source: Infinite Craft Game.
- Island + Sushi = Japan: The current recipe database also lists this direct combination, but its page does not give the complete prerequisite chain for Sushi. It is therefore an alternative final combination, not an established shorter complete route. Source: Infinite Craft Recipes.
