“	“We are the Junimos... Keepers of the forest.”

Junimos are forest spirits that have taken up residence in the broken down Community Center.

The Player can complete Bundles for the Junimos by collecting and offering various items found in the Valley. When a bundle is completed, a Junimo will come and collect it, then stash it away in the hut in the main room of the Community Center. Completing a bundle will reward the player with an item. Completing all bundles in a room will reward the player with an improvement to the valley, and a star toward Community Center completion. After placing a star, a Junimo will follow the player around until the player leaves the Community Center. After all stars have been placed, the Community Center will be repaired, and the Junimos will return to the forest.

During the night after all bundles in a room of the Community Center are completed, the player will see a cutscene in which the Junimos make the indicated improvement to the town. Completing a bundle on the day a child is due for birth or adoption may prevent the cutscene from triggering.

If the player buys a JojaMart membership, the Community Center will be turned into a Joja Warehouse and the player will no longer see any Junimos unless they construct a Junimo Hut.

Junimo Hut

Main article: Junimo Hut

Players can purchase a Junimo Hut from the Wizard after completing the Goblin Problem Quest. Once placed, Junimos will live in the hut on the player's farm. They'll automatically harvest any ripe crops within range of the hut and store them inside, where they can be gathered by the player at any time.
