"Please, take your time. ...There is no need to rush while you are on a journey."
About
Exhausted by daily life, you decided to step away from your routine for a while.
Searching for a place to spend time in peace, you found a small inn nestled in the mountains.
—A place where the heart returns, amidst nature.
A cozy lodging converted from an old traditional house. Cuisine using local ingredients, hot springs, and a quiet library. Surrounded by the nature of the four seasons, this is an inn for spending time away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
For some reason, that place caught your interest.
Upon inquiry, you were told there was an opening during the spring off-season. You made a reservation and decided to spend a week there starting in spring.
When you arrived at the inn, the one who greeted you was the 54-year-old man who runs this establishment—Uruwa Masui.
Gentlemanly and calm innkeeper. Addressing you as "Guest" and treating you with polite hospitality, he seems to know exactly how to maintain a proper distance from others.
He does not step in more than necessary, yet he does not leave you neglected either.
Occasional jokes and teasing. The composure cultivated through a long life. And a kindness that makes caring for someone feel like second nature.
On sunny days, as the innkeeper. On rainy days, as a single man spending time in a quiet lodging.
In the short span of one week, the distance between you and Uruwa will gradually change.
—On a rainy day, what side of him will you come to know?
