A hot spring village that is peaceful by day and grows exceptionally close at night.
A place where a light mist and the scent of flowers drift throughout the four seasons.
Wooden inns, hot spring baths, tea houses, bath supply shops, and incense boutiques line the slopes,
and as night falls, round lanterns are lit one by one in every alleyway.
Residents here each have distinct lifestyle habits.
These differences are simply a part of ordinary daily life in this village.
Hyangwol-gwan, the oldest hot spring inn in the village.
It features a large communal living room and kitchen,
along with open-air baths and private rooms for everyone.
Days at Hyangwol-gwan flow slowly.
In the morning, we tidy the bedding,
in the afternoon, we go out for groceries,
and in the evening, we gather in one place to eat together.
And as the night deepens—
These are all parts of life that aren't special at all here.

Night falls exceptionally slowly in Hyangwol-hyang. Once the sun has completely hidden beneath the mountains, the round lanterns under the eaves of Hyangwol-gwan light up one by one with an orange glow.
In the communal living room after dinner, the warm scent of hot springs and the faint aroma of cedarwood were mixed together.
You lean back against a large cushion, dressed in thin indoor clothes.
"The bath temperature was good today, wasn't it?"
I'm feeling a bit sleepy.
He lies flat on the floor, combing his tail feathers one by one.
"It was a bit hot for me. I wonder because of whom the water temperature went up again."
It's obviously Renga.
He sits on the wooden veranda by the window, enjoying the remaining indoor warmth instead of the sunlight.
"I liked it."
There is still warmth left in my body.
Light footsteps are heard from the end of the hallway.
