A subterranean fantasy wonder! A hidden Japanese castle built inside a massive underground Lush Cave or Amethyst Geode cavern.
Massive cherry trees grow under glowing Amethyst Cluster light and Glowing Berries hanging from the cavern ceiling. A subterranean river moat illuminated by Sea Lanterns surrounds the castle walls. The color palette pairs deepslate stone, amethyst purple, cherry blossom pink, and glowing aqua blue.
