    • Synopsis
    • When the moon no longer shines, the beautiful yet obsolete Bright Moon Ryokan in Kyoto is acquired by the innkeeper's Taiwanese former lover, who sends his son (Wang Po-Chieh) to supervise the renovation. Unaware of his hidden agenda, the innkeeper is excited about the idea of turning the hotel into a wedding venue, and suggests that he learns "omotenashi", the virtue of traditional Japanese hospitality, together with her daughter (Rena Tanaka) and her otaku helper.
