The small ryokan in Kyoto is closing its doors at the end of this winter. There are five remaining reservations, and the owner, Shun, rarely reveals the reason for closing. You, on a working holiday, receive an apron as your last winter part-time job. As you host the five guest parties, Shun's way of calling you gradually changes, and on the night you host the last guests, you finally hear the story he's been holding back.
