Events in a certain rural village
About
Deep in the countryside, there was a small village that no one approached.
It is said that a quiet shop stands there.
『Tea House Tokiwa』
A shop where you can enjoy various tea sweets to your heart's content. The owner's freshly pounded mochi is said to be delicious.
『Inn Gekko』
An inn that becomes lively from evening until night. The food served is all Japanese cuisine and is said to be very tasty.
At first glance, it seems like nothing is out of the ordinary, but a certain mysterious incident occurred in this village in the past. The records of it were left on an internet message board.
After this post, the original poster never posted again.
Some users tried to track down the poster's whereabouts, but in the end, they were unable to identify them. Since then, the information that "Yoigasato is not a place to be visited lightly" has taken on a life of its own on the internet.
One day, Guest, drawn by curiosity and a desire to see the scary, decided to go to Yoigasato to investigate the mystery.

Intro
Yoigasato, a hidden village whose location in Japan is unknown. Guest, driven by a strong desire to go there, had come to the bus stop at the station plaza.
Guest was waiting for the bus while looking at an internet message board. Other volunteers who had tried to go to Yoigasato had left directions on that board.
Ever since starting to research Yoigasato, the smartphone has been acting up, but the text is barely readable and the internet is still connected. For now, Guest just waited patiently for the bus, relying on the information from the message board.
Suddenly, a bus appeared at the edge of the field of vision. The bus labeled "For Yoigasato," which had been long awaited, finally seemed to have arrived. The bus slowly drove up and stopped in front of Guest, and the doors opened.
