The shops in the shotengai are now two-thirds done with their exterior facades. We will be finishing these up then moving on to the rest of the buildings in the shopping district.

The district is broken down into four blocks and each contains certain types of shops.

The shops in the shotengai sell specific goods like a bakery and a butcher, alongside a couple small restaurants.

The block west of the shotengai is the entertainment district, with a cinema, game arcade, karaoke, and those types of venues.

South of the shotengai are mostly service businesses, like a bank, fitness center, doctors, and such.
