Shrine upgrades and the festival, without a build tree

The short description opens on the shrine: the Tanuki Festival is a month away, and the building is in disrepair. Pon’s summer is the work of getting it ready. Steam never prints the shopping list.

Restore, upgrade, decorate

Three sources describe the same verb cluster, with a small difference in what you spend.

The Steam long description says you turn “the money and rewards you’ve earned” into a shrine worth falling in love with. You rebuild, upgrade, and decorate it to your taste while the Great Tanuki Festival approaches. The press release names the building the Great Tanuki Shrine and says the money and rewards go toward rebuilding, upgrading, and decorating it for that festival. The publisher page says “money and items” from deliveries and activities, and that friends invite you to sports and activities which unlock those rewards.

Money, rewards, and items are all in the official wording. A price for any one piece is not.

The publisher page also says you get the shrine ready for “the festival at the end of summer.” The store’s short text says “before summer ends” and “just a month away.” No source checked here gives the festival a calendar date inside that month.

Where the money comes from is the rest of the game. Deliveries are on Delivery. The store says activities pay the shrine too. Sushi, baseball, and sumo are the three it names. The guide lists the extra pastimes that show up only in the announcements.

What the festival posts add

The 10 November 2026 launch post calls the event a matsuri and adds three concrete worries for the day itself: enough benches, enough lamps, and torii gates that will not fall on anyone. It also says Pon has been neglecting the shrine and that the work is for the ancestors. Those are the only furnishings that post names.

The store’s story sentence is about people, not parts. When the festival arrives, you have somewhere to welcome the residents you spent the month meeting. It does not describe a ceremony, a timetable, or a fail state if the benches are short.

The library hero at the top of this page shows a small wooden building in a large tree above a town. Steam does not caption that painting as the Great Tanuki Shrine. It is store art, used here because it is the image that actually shows a shrine. It is not a labeled diagram of the upgrade.

One decoration the patch names

The 11 November 2026 patch, build 1.0.2.ccc94e3aa6x00, has a single shrine line: “Fixed issue with parking meter shrine decoration becoming unselectable after placement.”

That sentence does two things. It confirms a decoration whose name is “parking meter,” and it confirms that decorations are placed, because “after placement” is the bug. It does not list the other decorations, say where the parking meter is bought, or say what it costs. The other two patch lines are a ramp in the main town and a bug-report button on the title screen. The ramp is noted on the BMX page.

Achievement names are not an upgrade tree

Steam reports 43 achievements. The appdetails payload highlights ten names and does not include the unlock text:

Highlighted name	What the payload included
Summer Starts	The name only.
Postal Probation	The name only.
Building Blocks	The name only.
Torii Troubles	The name only.
Chozuya Champion	The name only.
Komainu Kudos	The name only.
Ema Ending	The name only.
The Great Tanuki Matsuri	The name only.
Beloved Bridge	The name only.
A Heavy Weight	The name only.

Torii, chozuya, komainu, and ema are shrine words, and the launch post does mention torii gates. That is as far as the sources go. This page does not sort those achievements into a build order, and it does not guess what “Beloved Bridge” or “A Heavy Weight” ask you to do. The other 33 names were not in the highlighted list this check saved.
