Although the Bell Shrine is retained in the original Japanese version of {{PG}}, it is replaced by a Wishing Well in international versions and {{DnMe+}}. In these versions, the Wishing Well is the center of most festivities in the [[town]]. Apart from being where most holiday celebrations take place, [[player]]s can do several other things there, such as checking the town's environment. They can also apologize for failing tasks for the [[villager]]s. Apologizing can only be done if the player has an item that needs to be delivered to a villager who has moved out before the [[favor]] was completed, as that is the only way to get rid of the item in this case. After having a perfect town for two weeks, the player can receive a [[Golden Axe]] from [[Farley]], the spirit of the well.

The wishing well is a location in the Animal Crossing series that appears in Doubutsu no Mori, Animal Crossing, and Doubutsu no Mori e+. Interacting with the Wishing Well gives the player options, while the surrounding area acts as a hub for events.

Appearances

In Animal Crossing

In Animal Crossing, interacting with the wishing well allows the player to check the town's Field Rank, as well as "apologize" to remove a favor item from their pockets if the villager the item belongs to has move away. During events, Tortimer visits the the wishing well, and for some events, props such as tables are set up in the area and villagers visit. If the town retains a perfect Field Rank for 15 days, selecting "How are things" makes Farley appear to give the player the Golden Axe.[nb 1]

The shrine in Doubutsu no Mori and Doubutsu no Mori+

In Doubutsu no Mori and Doubutsu no Mori+, the wishing well offers the same options as in Animal Crossing but is based on a Shinto shrine rather than a wishing well, and it is known as the shrine. In these versions, villagers gather in front of the shrine on New Year's Day and take turns ringing its bells, reflecting a tradition in real-world Japanese New Year's celebrations.

In Doubutsu no Mori e+

In Doubutsu no Mori e+, the international wishing well design is retained and two features are added to it: the ability to access minigames if a Game Boy Advance is connected, and the ability to invite villagers to move to town via their e-Reader card.
