Normally, when walking through the Ginza Station underground, you wouldn't expect to come across a corner that feels like you've just stepped into someone's cozy house.

Scattered throughout the space are numerous paraphernalia — CD cases, stacks of records, band merch such as T-shirts, baseball caps and assorted knick knacks — adding a personal touch and amplifying the homey feel.
