FarmVille Japanese barn Guide

You can now expand your storage options by adding a Japanese Barn to your farm! The Japanese Barn will give you 20 storage slots for your farm!




You can purchase a completed Japanese Barn in the FarmVille marketplace for 50 Farm Cash, or purchase a constructable Japanese Barn for 5,000 coins and enlist the help of your friends in building your barn.




If you buy a constructable Japanese Barn and click on “look inside” from the Japanese Barn menu, you will see a Japanese Barn materials page that tells you how many of each material you have left to go.




1. Ask For More
When viewing the interior of your unfinished Japanese Barn, each component you have not yet received 10 of has an ‘Ask For More’ button, that when clicked will take you to the Friend Selector page where you can selects friends to send Gift Requests to for your chosen component.

2. From neighbors via the Free Gifts Menu
Neighbors can send you the components you need to expand your Japanese Barn. Please note that the components displayed on the Free Gifts Page are randomized. As such, the components displayed on the Free Gifts page may be different for each player.




When neighbors send you a building component, it works exactly like any other free gift. After you accept the gift it will appear in your gift box. After clicking the “use” button under the gift it will automatically be added to your Japanese Barn.

3. Completing with Farm Cash.
If at any time during your construction process you decide that you’d rather simply purchase the items required for the Japanese Barn from the Market, you can choose to do so. 




When you complete your Japanese Barn, you will receive a popup asking you if you’d like to share the news with your friends. Clicking the ‘Share’ button on this popup will give you the option to post a feed to your wall that will give up to 10 friends who click on it a Hanging Flowers.
