How it's used
Refers specifically to a functional space dedicated to administrative tasks or public services rather than a general workspace for a company. It often implies a government or organizational branch where citizens go to complete paperwork or resolve specific issues. While it functions as a noun, it is almost always paired with a classifier like 間 to denote the physical location.
