“Fantasy” in Japanese is 空想 (kūsō).

Centers on forming thoughts of people, scenes, or events that are not present in reality, whether in idle daydreaming or creative fantasy.

新しい物語の設定を考えると、空想がどんどん広がります。atara shi i monogatari no set tei o kanga e ru to kū sō ga do n do n hiro ga ri ma su

When I think about a new story setting, my imagination keeps expanding.

In Japanese, 空想 (kūsō) can describe both a child's imagined world and creative fictional thinking, so it is not limited to idle daydreaming.
