A girl gets abandoned at a hot springs inn and finds out she's tougher than she thought. Nothing flashy happens, but every small moment of Ohana learning to belong hits different because the show actually cares about her becoming a real person, not just a plot device. By the end, you're not watching a story anymore, you're watching someone you know figure out who she is, one shift at the inn at a time.

Sixteen-year-old Ohana's life in Tokyo is upended when her carefree single mother runs off with a boyfriend to avoid debt collectors, leaving her in the care of her estranged grandmother. The catch: her grandmother strictly runs a Taisho-era style hot springs inn in the countryside, and Ohana must work there to pay her way. At first she is at odds with her grandmother, her co-workers and the guests, but she resolves to work hard and use the move as a chance to better herself and mend her strained ties with the inn's staff. Along the way she makes friends at her new school and at the inn. The drama mixes everyday slice-of-life moments with fun and mischief.
