"The hospitality division in Kochi Prefecture can't promote the beautiful nature in the area due to a strict rule by the prefecture government. Popular writer and Koichi area native Kyosuke Yoshikado (
Kengo Kora) is appointed as a special envoy for tourism in the area. He then receives a recommendation to meet Seien, a former employee of Kochi Prefecture, who once hatched an unusual idea to promote tourism. Seien pushed forward a project to import pandas into the area, but lost his job because of that project. Meanwhile, hospitality division employees Fumitaka (
Ryo Nishikido) and Taki (
Maki Horikita) visits the tourist house which is run by Seien and his daughter (
Megumi Seki). When they arrive, the daughter throws a bucket of water at them, still angry for the way her father was dismissed from his job. From there, a plan for the hospitality division is born. "
This was a good hearted movie about the beauty and wonder of the part of Japan they call Kochi. I enjoyed the movie a lot, there were some very good parts. I enjoyed the romance present in the film and the way it was executed. The comedy wasn't over the top it was actually realistic as was the approach to the romance. If you really like to see a beautiful place and see some wonderful characters then this is the movie for you.
3/5
