Japan led by Oda Nobunaga is a civilization available in vanilla Civilization V. It does not require any DLC.
Using Japan (Tojo) gives Oda Nobunaga's Japan an alternate unique building.
Overview[]
Japan[]
The islands of Japan are born of the unimaginable violence of plate tectonics, arising as the Pacific Plate is ground beneath the Eurasian Plate. The result is a mountainous land of great beauty and peril, where the people live and thrive in a narrow corridor between volcano and sea.
Oda Nobunaga[]
Oda Nobunaga was a 16th-century Japanese warlord. Both a brilliant general and a cunning politician - as well as an early adopter of new technology - Nobunaga fought and backstabbed his way to domination over nearly half of feudal Japan. His two lieutenants, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, would complete the job after his death, reunifying Japan for the first time in over a century.

Blessings upon you noble Oda Nobunaga, ruler of the land where the sun rises - may you long walk among its flowering blossoms. You are the ruler of Japan, the land of the Rising Sun. The Japanese are an island people, proud and pious with a rich culture of arts and letters. Your civilization stretches back thousands of years, years of bloody warfare, expansion and isolation, great wealth and great poverty. In addition to their prowess on the field of battle, your people are also immensely industrious, and their technological innovation and mighty factories are the envy of lesser people everywhere.
Legendary daimyo, will you grab the reins of destiny? Will you bring your family and people honor and glory? Will you once again pick up the sword and shield and march to triumph? Can you build a civilization that will stand the test of time?
Introduction (Audio): We hope for a fair and just relationship with you, who are renowned for military bravery. (武勇の誉れ高き貴殿にご挨拶を申し上げたく、さらに公正かつ公平なる連携を心よりお願い申し上 げまする。)
Introduction (Text):We are most pleased and honored to meet the great leader and warlord.
Defeat (Audio): You were much wiser than I thought. (余が認めた以上に遙かに賢明でござった。)
Defeat (Text): You have shown remarkable skill and audacity. One would almost think you were Japanese!
