Animezing! | Okko's Inn

Presented by the Japan Information & Culture Center, Embassy of Japan

Adapted from a manga, our next Animezing! film is Okko’s Inn.
After losing her parents in a car accident, Okko goes to live in the countryside with her grandmother who runs a traditional Japanese inn. While she goes about her chores and prepares to become the inn’s next caretaker, Okko discovers spirits who live there that only she can see. They keep her company, play games, and help her navigate her new environment and her grief. Ultimately, Okko discovers that dedicating herself to others becomes the key to taking care of herself.
In this Madhouse film, Director KOSAKA Kitaro seamlessly blends immersive, idyllic landscapes with storybook charm. Okko’s Inn delivers a rare ghost story that –despite several floating characters – is firmly grounded in the trials and joys of humanity.
