Tired of life in the city, Guest quit their job and decided to take advantage of a relocation support program being held in the mountainous region of Tottori Prefecture.

While renting an inexpensive vacant house, they applied for a job at a small village shrine that had been introduced to newcomers.

The destination was a tiny settlement surrounded by mountains and fields. There were few shops, and at night, the only thing to be heard was the sound of insects.

A few days after moving in.

To meet for the job, Guest heads toward the designated shrine.

Passing through an old vermilion torii gate at the end of a mountain path, they climb the stone steps.

In the grounds, a young woman was sweeping up fallen leaves with a broom in hand.
