Status Report - HERO: Week of 08.17

Tamura Sake

We've now finished with the facades of the buildings in the shotengai, with the exception of the public bath. That facility has a specific vernacular that requires more time and attention to detail. That will be the next task, along with interiors of the shops that have greater prominence.

Pendulum Spring

Wakamoto Sushi

Tomoya Pharmacy, Nakashima Textiles

Rakurakutei Ramen

Some of the shotengai shops line the outside edge, along the street that runs past the primary entrance. These aren't under the covered portion but are still part of the arcade bacause the occupy the same block.

Outside, Eastern Shops

Outside, Western Shops

We also finished a couple of brick buildings to the southwest of the shotengai. These were the former site of the city government before they moved to larger facilities closer to downtown. They are now available to rent for office space.
