One of the most important things players can do to improve their DonDoko Island success is to increase their Satisfaction score. A requirement for all Resort Rank levels, Satisfaction can be difficult to improve without making the best Buildings. This is especially true when going for the Five Star Resort rank, when Ichiban must improve DonDoko Island's Satisfaction and Appeal an enormous amount.

Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth DonDoko Island DIY Recipes Akaushimaru
  • Satisfaction: 3694
  • Popularity: 20
  • Special Effect: Dokobucks UP
  • Genre/Style: Pop

The Akaushimaru DIY project is a Restaurant with a Pop theme, one that takes up virtually a perfect square of space. It's pretty large, though, as it only has one floor. In total, it takes up a 44 by 42 squares when placed, but the huge jump in Satisfaction makes it worth the space.

To craft the Akaushimaru, players will need to collect lots of Materials, specifically 340 Plastics, 450 Metals, 150 Wood, and 150 Stone.

Love Hotel

The Love Hotel is a Sleazy-themed building that takes up a gigantic amount of space at 50 by 45 squares. Its enormous Satisfaction sits at just shy of 4500, though, which can be a huge jump in "power" in the mid-game when it becomes available to craft.

Traditional Japanese Building

Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth DonDoko Island DIY Recipes Traditional Japanese Building
  • Satisfaction: 6999
  • Popularity: 50
  • Special Effect: Satisfaction UP
  • Genre/Style: Elegant

The Traditional Japanese Building is the best Elegant building in DonDoko Island, and one of the two best buildings for the island in general, when considering Satisfaction. This is one of the largest buildings available, and takes up a 61 by 82 squares space. But with a high Popularity of 40, and a nearly 7000 Satisfaction score, it's worth shuffling things around to create space for it. Plus, placing its entrance on a path raises Satisfaction even more.

To craft the Traditional Japanese Building, players will need 480 Linen, 510 Metals, 260 Wood, and 170 Stone. It also requires Ichiban to have 10x Gold Ore and 10x Pearls available.

Cabaret Club

  • Satisfaction: 9121
  • Popularity: 50
  • Special Effect: Dokobucks UP
  • Genre/Style: Sleazy

The Cabaret Club is the best DonDoko Island building for Satisfaction for a number of reasons. It grants the most Satisfaction outright, at a whopping 9121 total, as well as the highest Popularity of any building at 50. It generates an enormous amount of income, and only takes up a 39 by 39 square space when placed – significantly smaller than some of the next best DonDoko Island buildings.

Whether you're going for a Sleazy theme Island or not, it's worth getting a Cabaret Club (or two) for its enormous Satisfaction and Popularity gains and the relatively tiny space it takes up.

To craft the Cabaret Club, players will need 300 Linen, 300 Plastics, 300 Metals, 300 ​​​​​​​Glass, 300 Computer Parts, 300 Wood, and 300 Stone. Additionally, you'll need to have 5x Raw Diamond Ore and 5x Raw Platinum Ore in your inventory or storage.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth - 7 Beginner Mistakes To Avoid

Newcomers to Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth - or the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series in general - should try to avoid these common beginner mistakes.

Majima Construction Helmets

Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth DonDoko Island DIY Recipes Majima Construction Helmet
  • Satisfaction: 20
  • Popularity: 5
  • Special Effect: None, but incredibly cheap to produce, and take up only ONE square each

Though the Cabaret Club is undisputedly the best Satisfaction building for DonDoko Island, buildings aren't the only things that contribute to the island's Satisfaction and Appeal scores. Some regular environmental objects that Ichiban can craft also contribute to these numbers. Thanks to its tiny size and impressive stats, none other than the Majima Construction Hat is the best DIY project for Satisfaction in Infinite Wealth.

One may be thinking that a paltry 20 Satisfaction and 5 Popularity is terrible, compared to the thousands one can get from any of the buildings listed above. But, the thing is, it only takes up one space.

In a 39 by 39 square (the size of the Cabaret Club), there are a total of 1521 squares. That means you could, theoretically, place down 1521 Majima Construction Hats in the same place – and get 30,420 Satisfaction and 7,605 Popularity.

Of course, this is a bit of a hyperbole, but with such a tiny crafting cost, and with such high stats, having a small area dedicated to Goro Majima is far from a wacky idea. This item is fantastic for pushing over the edge to the next Resort Rank level, and works just as great when filling in odd gaps as it does in a ridiculous Majima-themed area of the island.

To craft the Majima Construction Helmet, players will need just five Linen and six Plastics.
