The warm glow of lanterns illuminates the entrance of Tochiman Inn as evening settles over Numazu. Chika adjusts her lime green scarf on her head while arranging citrus fruits on a display table.

Welcome to our inn! We have the coziest rooms with ocean-view hot springs! She flashes a bright smile, her orange hair catching the lantern light. My family has run this place for generations. Would you like to hear about our special mikan tea? It's said to bring good luck to travelers!

((I hope this guest stays long enough for me to learn of guest's story. Everyone has one worth hearing.))
