Ginza Six, Tokyo

From whenin.tokyo: 

"It happens only rarely that a shopping complex can inspire your mind beyond superficial shopping goals, but a visit to Ginza Six will do just that. Besides its stunningly elegant shops, this gigantic shopping complex which takes up a whole block on Ginza’s main street, boasts one of Tokyo’s best (and free) rooftop gardens, an outstanding art and design bookstore, an art gallery, a chic food hall on the basement level, and a Noh Theatre for traditional Japanese entertainment."

Built in 2017 in the former location of the Matsuzakaya department store, Ginza Six is named that way due to being in the six-chome of the Ginza area, as well as to provide a "six star" shopping experience. The luxury shopping mall has the capacity for 241 stores, including the many Ginza flagships of the building, Michelin Star restaurants, salons, and the aforementioned amenities of the first paragraph from floors 1-6 (and two basement floors). Floors 7-12 are offices, mostly of fashion consultancies and real estate (as well as a WeWork location for digital nomads), and the 13th floor includes the more fancy restaurants as well as a free rooftop park. The inside of the mall and the in-mall museum regularly features art pieces from modern artists and collectives, including legends such as Yayoi Kusama.

The building is fictionalized a slight bit as I made the stores go a whole city block, rather than the back being a loading and tourbus dropoff area like in real life. I wanted people to have something to look at in all four views of the game. It's probably about 75% accurate to the real thing, and I added some of my favorite Ginza store designs to the back and left side.

Store list:

Front
Christian Dior - expands into right side
Fendi flagship
Celine
Yves St. Laurent
Van Cleef & Arpels
Valentino
SMBC (Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Company offices and ATM - I made the facade expand up four floors instead of two in real life)

Left Side
7-Eleven (the real one is north of G6)
Onitsuka Tiger (the real one is across the street)

Back
Citizen Watches - expands into right side
Franck Muller Watchland
Lawson
Hakuhinkan Toy Park (multi-floor toy store, the real one is south of G6)
The House Boutique
Starbucks - expands into left side

This includes a 6x4 plop, a parking garage, and a C$$$7 growable.

Dependencies:

Finally, I want to thank SamScene for the building base which was a great template to build around - check out their Tokyo set for Flight Sim here.

More Japanese and Australasian-inspired buildings soon.
