After you make it through the door, you come across another cluster of doors. Which one to choose? There's a loud thunderous sound coming from behind one and you decide to open it. Behind it, there's an entire bowling (ぼう) alley and people bowling, loudly!

Hints

Watch as clusters of pins fall when the bowling balls hit them. You back up and peek through one of the other doors in the cluster and it also houses a bowling alley. Huh.
