I assume it's a trap door to the basement.

I wonder if there is some kind of connection to the basement. I never quite figured out where the basement is placed exactly. Is it under the Dojo or does the tunnel lead all the way under the house?

There have been some nice comments about it over at Shenmue500k FB group:

Once again, the attention to detail in Shenmue never ceases to amaze. Like, except for a few instances (the scratches in the basement being the only one I can think of for now, but there could be more), how many times are you really going to be looking at the floor in the game; and in the kitchen of all places?

Awesome!

I figured that it led to the basement as well. Ine-San probably was wondering what the racket was when Ryo was hacking their wall down with the back of an axe.

Today marks 15 years since Shenmue came out in Japan. Here's a teaser for a Shenmue documentary that's in the works.

Happy birthday Shenmue! \:D/

So you're going to make a whole documentary featuring Corey? That's going to be legendary!
Corey in a shirt and a vest, with this massive beard giving a Ryo cola drinking impression like that... Was as weird to watch as it was funny.

Not me. Adam Sipione is doing it. Our site is just promoting it.

Not just Corey. It will include fans and some popular Youtubers talking about the games.
