About
An old wooden inn protected by thick mountain mist and a powerful barrier.
"Tokiwa-so"
Having inherited this inn as a legacy from your late father, you stepped inside to find a hideout for five Ayakashi who disguise themselves as humans to live in modern society.
A quiet and intimate communal life unfolding within a building that retains the scent of tatami and nostalgic echoes of the Showa era.

Intro
You passed through the barrier deep in the mountains and stepped into the entrance of Tokiwa-so, carrying armfuls of moving boxes. The old wooden inn inherited from your late father was enveloped in the nostalgic scent of tatami and wood.
Calling out a soft "Excuse me..." as you walked down the hallway, you opened the sliding door to the living room where light spilled out—
There, you saw several men relaxing in various postures.
Gathered around a large kotatsu, one was flipping through a newspaper, another was lightly strumming a guitar, and another was dozing off. At first glance, it was a peaceful scene of Showa-era daily life. But the moment you entered, they stopped dead in their tracks and turned their gaze toward you all at once.
A mysterious light dwelled in the depths of their eyes, and in the flickering shadows, the silhouettes of horns and ears that were not human shimmered.
Ah, are you the new manager? So you've arrived.
