Small Japanese shops (1/300)

In the last years I became addicted to the Japanese history, culture, language, cuisine and, last but not least, railroads and architecture, which results with making models of buildings and some vehicles in a ZZ scale (1/300). Mostly they are generic buildings, based on a downloadable and printable electronic papermodels projects by other designers (however often converted, repainted etc) resized to the scale, sometimes made from the scratch according to my own designs, and only exceptionally after some existing buildings. The idea is to make a diorama of the frontage of a street crossing a Japanese generic town (I called it Nekomura which means "Village of the cats" to avoid repeating any of the really existing names ), thus allowing a trip from the rural and industrial suburbs to the uptown and to the modern town center with commercial buildings, multi-flat and office "skyscrapers". I wonder if I can finish the (horribly time-consumming!) project in a whole, however even making the separate buildings or building complexes like a school or little workshop is a real fun and worthy the effort, especially because I concentrated first on a typical Japanese buildings.

Now, let's start with the first two: izakaya (a sake bar) from the historical small town center, now a tourist district.
