Senbamachiya Market | Retail

At the heart of Senbamachi sits a quaint quartet of machiya—traditional Japanese townhouses—that continue to serve their long-standing function of housing small retail shops in the front and family homes in the back and upstairs. Each of the machiya is home to a different local business, catering primarily to tourists. Along the main street you will find a massage studio, ikebana flower shop, and souvenir shop. And around back, tucked behind the alley, is an adventure gear outfitter with snowboards and skis to get you Mt. Komorebi-ready. 

The four machiyas are all 1-2 bedrooms, and each has at least one washitsu (aka tatami room) with—fingers crossed—auspiciously arranged tatami…? To make the lot slightly easier to load, the second floor is unfurnished for all but the ikebana shop. I have had soooo much fun researching, exploring, learning about, and building machiya and Japanese architecture in general. I did my best but of course apologize if I got anything wrong! 

Lot details:

Lot Type: Retail (with items already tagged for sale and everything!); it can also function as a Spa, but you can also simply hire a massage therapist with it set as a Retail lot. You can also change it to Residential if you want your sims to live here without bothering with the shops.

Price: §159,937

Size: 30x20

Location: 5-3-1 Shinrinyoku, Mt. Komorebi (sorry, Akiyamas!) 

I’ve used from all packs freely here—naturally, it’s very heavy on Snowy Escape but you’ll need Spa Day for the massage studio

Please enable bb.moveobjects on when downloading to ensure proper placement of the lot!
