Kakuriyo -Bed & Breakfast for Spirits- (Original Japanese Version)

On her way to school, Aoi, who can see ayakashi, encounters an ayakashi she's never seen and is abducted to Tenjin-ya, an inn in the hidden realm. There, she learns that her grandfather promised that she'd marry the master innkeeper to pay off his debt.

Ginji, the young master of Tenjin-ya, suggested that Aoi open up an eatery. But before she has a chance to even think about it, she gets dragged into a commotion caused by the tengu guests. Will she ever be able to find a job at Tenjin-ya?

The ayakashi world is ruled by eight great yokai called the Hachiyo. After Aoi succeeded in offering hospitality to Matsuba, one of the Hachiyo, the master innkeeper takes her out to the capital of the hidden realm as a reward for her achievement.

After they come back to Tenjin-ya, the snow woman O-Ryo collapses from fever and Aoi ends up looking after her with her cooking. Then, a fight breaks out between Suzuran, who wants to go to the apparent realm, and Akatsuki, who is against her going.

After having a big fight with his younger sister, Akatsuki stays in the form of a spider and does not even eat the food Aoi cooked. Thinking that it'd be too sad if they went their separate ways without reconciling, Aoi decides to do something about it.

The day has finally come for Aoi's eatery to open. With the name Moonflower from Matsuba, she opens it in great spirits; however, things don't seem to go so well at this unluckiest place in the northeast area.

When Aoi is summoned by Byakuya, the chief of the accounting office, he points out that she hasn't made any sales yet. He also tells her that if she cannot produce results, Moonflower will be closed.

After receiving a request from the Imperial Court to cook anniversary dishes for Nuinoin and his wife, Aoi visits the eastern land where a foreign delicacy market is being held in order to obtain the ingredients.

In the dark place where Aoi is locked up, the noise of rain and thunder reminds her of the day her mother left her. As she loses consciousness, she's rescued by the master; however, when she wakes up, it's already the royal couple's anniversary day.

In preparation for the Tanabata Festival, the town and Tenjin-ya are becoming quite lively. At Moonflower, Ritsuko visits Aoi, who is also preparing for Tanabata, and tells her stories about her and Nuinoin's past.

While the master is away, Hatori and Tokihiko, the front desk manager and bath caretaker from Tenjin-ya's rival inn Orio-ya, suddenly show up at Tenjin-ya. Although they say they came as guests, a tense mood prevails among the employees.

Akatsuki and Ginji have been acting a little strange since Hatori arrived. Meanwhile, the children from one of the families staying at Tenjin-ya go missing. In order to look for them with Akatsuki, Aoi goes down to Tenjin-ya's basement for the first time.

After resolving the missing children incident, Aoi comes back to Moonflower and finds a collapsed Ginji in his fox-cub form. While looking after him, she recalls the white-masked ayakashi who saved her when she was a child.
