A quiet, modern pedestrian corridor connects parts of a Japanese transit hub, its metallic walls and ceiling panels reflecting soft daylight from the far exit. Yellow tactile paving guides commuters toward the outside, where a brief view of greenery contrasts with the tunnel’s rigid geometry. The minimalist design and clean lines reflect Japan’s approach to functional urban infrastructure—precise, orderly, and human-scaled.
