  As you may know himitsubako Japanese puzzle boxes usually have only one large compartment regardless of the size and the number of steps you have to move, but some unique ones have more than one compartment. 

 

  

   This is 6 sun size himitsubako (1 sun is about 3cm wide, so the wideth is 18cm, which is relatively big) and this looks just like other himitsubako you see on the market, but actually it is very unique and unusual i.e. it has 2 storage spaces

 

   The first 10 steps are the same as other types of himitsubako puzzle boxes and it can be opened very easily. 

 

 

   

 

   Once people open the first compartment, then they assume that is all, but actually there is another space behind the box and to reach that second box, you need to slide 4 more!

 

  The second space is small, but you can still hide something thin and important. 

 

  you can see the youtube video of where the second space
