Liminal spaces are the subject of an Internet aesthetic portraying empty or abandoned places that appear eerie, forlorn, and often surreal. Liminal spaces are commonly places of transition (pertaining to the concept of liminality) or of nostalgic appeal.

Japan! It’s a stairway leading to the Toei Ōedo line, among the deepest subways into the world.

Could be an asshole design with low-traction ramps instead of stairs, going up.

Nah if you zoom in, you can see a sign on the wall. If you were goinf up it would be a sign on the ceiling and that makes no sense

Ah, that detail probably clears it as going down.
