Plot

A heartful drama revolving around an old and established Japanese inn in Asakusa, depicting the scenes between the employees and guests visiting the inn. The dialogue between the guests and the owner of the inn, Daikichi Fukumaru, who has a deep sense of social obligation and compassion, brings tears and laughter to the audience. It is a piece of work that touchingly delivers various forms of “love” through laughter.
