After I told them my name, the man who seems like a branch manager showed up from inside of the office.  I went bank branch to follow the necessary procedures at afternoon, however, I received the contact from the bank that there was seal defect.  So I went there again.

After his Japanese traditional apology, he guided me areas in the back.
