Cool! Could I have you do a provisional mapping of Sakuran? I still don't know where towns, forests and farms would be placed, so you've got free reign on that. I just wanna see some ideas.
Here are some posts for info, they've got some pics as well:

I will say that Sakuran is probably about 900km petal-to-petal in width, and the capital will be about 50km downriver of the southern hotsprings, but a hotsprings town near the biggest hotsprings will exist a bit further north

Not my best, but this should do. I hope it's to your liking.
In terms of major climate zones, Sakuran is divided into three parts. Easter Sakuran, due to it not being exposed to the cold current coming from the west, has a more stable rainfall pattern, putting it in the humid subtropical climate (Cfa), think southern US or Uruguay. It is reasonably wet, and is probably quite suitable for agriculture in terms of climate. In particular, the river flowing between Sakuran and /micomet/ can probably bring enough nutrient to the riverside land to be Sakuran's rice bowl.
Western Sakuran, however, is more affected by the cold current, making it an overall drier place. This is further divided into southwestern and northwestern Sakuran. Southwestern Sakuran, due to its proximity to the Northern Tropic (Tropic of Cancer), is overall dry, making it a hot semi-arid climate (BSh). It is not as dry as the hot desert that likely dominates a good chunk of Sora, but the dominant plants would still be shrubs,. grass and cacti. It is most similar to the Texan-Mexican border IRL. Near the tip of the volcano, the altitude makes the environment colder (but still generally dry), likely putting it in cool semi-arid climate (BSk) instead around 2000m altitude (yeah, I wrote this before >>21622607). A good chunk of central Spain is of this climate.
For Northwestern Sakuran, it is likely to have a hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Cwa) due to it being near a warm current on the temperate west coast of the continent. It is similar to humid subtropical climate in the east, except its rainfall pattern is reversed, meaning that its summer will be dry while its winter will be wet. It is most similar to SoCal or, well, the Mediterranean IRL. Similar to humid subtropical, it is reasonably suitable for agriculture, although instead of wetter crops like rice, it is more suitable for drought-resistant crops like wheat. Mediterranean climate is also famous for grapes, olives, and vegetables (you might know it as the Mediterranean diet) - basically, if you can find it in a salad, you can probably grow something similar there.
