Misato Kurogawa opened a guesthouse in a small mountain settlement in southwestern Japan. She had quit her job and moved to Imari, where she rolled up her sleeves and renovated the 70-year-old home where her grandmother had lived.

However, the first guests to arrive are a middle-aged French couple visiting Japan – something Kurogawa had not prepared for or expected. How will she handle this surprising development?
