Board Game Arena

I'd like to search for games based in or with a Japanese theme but I can't seem to find a way to do it. The general search for "Japan" just returns one game. The Games page and filters doesn't seem to include a regional or country filter. I imagine it might be useful to filter geographically - e.g. Africa, or Asia, or Oceans, or France, or India, or Japan, or Mountains, etc. The only geographic filter is "Western" which I imagine means the west area of the USA.

Back to Japan, I've spotted some games already, in no particular order:

King of Tokyo
Tokaido
Shogun
Japanese (Riichi) Mahjongg

Are there others?

Many thanks.

Sushi Go!
Sushi Go Party!
Yokohama
Kami
Yokai
Micro Dojo
Nippon (obviously)

Also, do Hanafuda games or abstracts count?
If so:

Koi-koi
Roppyakken
Hachi-hachi
Shogi
Senshi
Onitama
Gomoku

There are some other Hwatu games which can be played with Hanafuda as well, but excluded in this post as their origin is Korea rather than Japan.

You mean just here at BGA?

Hanabi
Hanamikoji
Next Station: Tokyo
Narabi
Takara Island
Hokito
Sensei
Seikatsu


Go?

I wouldn't count Go as a purely Japanese themed game, as the population also exists in China and Korea at large (and in general, Chinese or Korean pro players are considered stronger than Japanese players) and the origin of the game is China.

That's not really a geographic filter. It's a theme filter, and "Western" is slightly more general (and hence accurately applicable to more games) than "Cowboys".

Thank you for the suggestions. I've even played Sushi Go and forgot to include it in my initial list.

Yes, I mean here on BGA so I can play some. I know I could head over to BGG and search their wider database, but I'm curious what Japanese games BGA offers.

There is also Takenoko.

Even if the background is a Japanese royal garden, it feels more like Chinese as its theme is panda.
