Translating Engrish correctly can result in a dizzy-spelled.
Or, if this were the Disney Studio, a Disney-Spelled.

Technically it is all spelled correctly. The grammar on the other hand
is atrocious

The characters mean “port or bay,” “ceremony or style” and “make arrangements.” Not sure what translator they put it into to get “correctly spelled out. I am guessing they were trying to say that this side-hall was closed in preparation for an event to be held later.
