Overview
The Nakagumi Business Plaza was a hollow-core building which had housed many businesses of Japantown. The majority were small Japanese shops, Japanese video stores both adult and not adult, small Japanese book stores, ramen shops, noodle-takeout lunch spots, and sushi restaurants. The Plaza had four really notable establishments that were known throughout Japantown.

Hasagumi
Hasagumi, was a total-body beauty parlor, offering everything from haircuts to making arrangements for bio-sculpting. Many wives of Arasaka execs and local Yakuza came here.

XVZ Piano Bar
XYZ Piano Bar, was a well-known Japantown fixture, featuring a dimly lit, smoke-wreathed bar, attractive bargirls, real wood paneling and leather booths. The XYZ also specialized in Karaoke singing: automated music players synched with open microphones provided for its guests. Patrons were urged by prodding from the bar girls and other patrons, to come up to the mike and sing renditions of popular songs (usually in Japanese, however some were available in English) accompanied by taped musical arrangements. A hologram system combined with sophisticated rear projection TV screen would allow the singer to even participate in music videos.

XYZ was also known as a popular Yakuza gathering grounds. On weekend nights, men with tattoos peeking from under suit cuffs, wearing wraparound shades, nursing their scotches-over-ice, fondling the bargirls, and discussing underworld business of Japan (Usually from Osaka or Kobe). Many Solos or Fixers of Japanese descent, would come to this bar.

Cherry Blossom Memories was a braindance arcade with a twist, all the BDs here were reenactments from Japanese history. Some of these BDs included working as a ninja for the Tokagowa Shogunate, and Imperial princess, a brave Samurai ronin, Sohei warrior, fearsome group of religious warriors the Ikko-Ikki, part of the feudal Japanese armies were made up of ashigaru, tsukai-ban a messenger corps, even a fighter pilot of the Japanese Imperial Navy from WW2, and so much more. The halls were filled with holographic Cherry Blossoms in their prime with pink lights all over.
