I just finished building the Sakura Kimono Shop and honestly this was the PERFECT quick and cozy build before starting my next big DIY project 
This kit was super easy to put together and I had such a relaxing time building it. The whole process felt calm and satisfying, especially watching all the tiny details slowly come together piece by piece. From the little kimono displays to the warm lighting and tiny decor inside the shop, every step made the build feel so cozy and peaceful
One of my absolute favorite details is definitely the sakura tree 
Sakura trees are my favorite type of tree in real life, so seeing one included in this kit made me so happy. It adds such a soft magical feeling to the storefront and really brings the whole scene to life
The wood quality was actually pretty good overall and most pieces fit together nicely, but I did accidentally break a few small pieces during the build 
So if you ever build this one, definitely be gentle when removing pieces from the boards and take your time with assembly. Some of the smaller parts are delicate, but the final result is SO worth it
Favorite Details:
The sakura tree
Tiny kimono displays
The warm cozy lighting
Little plants and storefront details
The patterned fabric pieces
The peaceful traditional shop aesthetic
I’m also so excited because this build is another addition to my growing Japanese street
Seeing all three shops lined up together makes the whole collection feel even more magical and cozy. The street is almost complete and I seriously can’t stop staring at it 
This build was such a nice reminder that not every DIY has to be super difficult or stressful to still feel rewarding 
Have you ever built a kit that felt super relaxing from start to finish?
It’s a nice kit. I love every detail.
I am loving your growing Japanese street. I also want one
