Joyato
常夜燈
In a small, quiet town, a young boy named Takuya lives with his grandmother, who runs a traditional inn. He spends his days helping her and attending school, finding comfort in the simple routines of life. One evening, he discovers a mysterious lantern that glows with a warm, steady light, which his grandmother calls a "joyato."
As Takuya learns more about the lantern, he realizes it holds a connection to the past and to people who have passed through the inn. The light guides him to uncover hidden stories and emotions of those who once stayed there, leading him to confront his own feelings about loss and the passage of time.
