Hometown Stories - Season 8 Episode 1
Honami Enya was an ambitious go-getter at a famous architectural firm -- that is, until she overworked herself and fell ill. It was during her leave of absence that she discovered the world of public bathhouses and was healed by them, body and soul. On a whim, she drew one bathhouse and posted it on social media. Her bathhouse illustrations eventually attracted so much interest online that she now has her own magazine column. Her working style is drastically different from before: she works at a bathhouse twice a week and uses her free time to work on new illustrations. She says that she is happy with her slow-paced and peaceful life -- we follow her to see what it's like.
