Harv's Island

Harv's Island is a location in where Harvey lives. On this island is Photopia, a building where the player is able to set up shots and take photos with characters.

In
To unlock the island, the player needs to speak to Harvey when he visits on roughly the third day of island living. He tells the player that he owns his own island and invites them to visit. The island can be accessed for free from the airport. After the player arrives for the first time, Harvey showcases Photopia to them and gives a tutorial on how to use it.

Photopia
Photopia is the building located on Harv's Island where players can set up photo shoots. The player is able to access items they have unlocked in the Nook Shopping catalog and configure indoor scenes with the intent to stage photos. The player can place furniture, change the wallpaper and flooring, and invite the villagers currently living on their island. Using any Animal Crossing amiibo cards and amiibo figures enables the player to summon the rest of the cast of villagers and special characters. In addition, the invited characters can be dressed up and can express Reactions the player has unlocked on cue. To capture a photo, the player uses the Camera app on their NookPhone.

After the player returns to their island, posters of any characters whose amiibo were scanned will become available for purchase from Nook Shopping.

Wedding Season


Introduced in the 1.2.0 April Free Update, Wedding Season is an event that takes place at Photopia during the month of June. During the event the player is tasked with taking photos of Cyrus and Reese for their wedding anniversary in exchange for Heart Crystals. Each day Reese will ask for the room to be decorated in a different theme, and after each photo shoot the player can talk to Cyrus to exchange Heart Crystals for wedding-themed items, including items from the Wedding Series.

= Plaza
A plaza was added to Harv's Island as part of the 2.0 update, featuring shops run by new and previously seen island visitors, such as Harriet, Tortimer, Katrina, Cyrus and Reese, Leif, Saharah, Kicks and Redd. With the exception of Harriet, each shop costs 100,000 Bells to set up. Once its paid in full, the desired vendor NPC will become available the next day at 5 AM. The player can only open one shop at a time.

Harriet does not need bells for her to set up shop, and if Leif, Saharah, Kicks and Redd set up shop, it will be easier to buy stuff from them, because they still will visit your island. If they are not visiting, you can go to Harv's island to buy their produce. They maintain their selling, but Tortimer will ship items to your storage, Cyrus and Reese can customize furniture, and Katrina will tell you your fortune for the day. Harriet can teach you new hairstyles, and will watch over Photopia on the first day that you come to the island when Harvey asks you to help out.

In
Although Harv's Island does not appear as a location in, Photopia appears as a special furniture item known as Harvey's Wood Cabin, where upon crafting it with Leaf Tickets 300, Harvey will visit the player's campground.
