Kitaro and the others celebrate the fishing festival with everyone from Sakaiminato. Then, Mana hears a strange voice calling her and disappears. At the same time, the door to the hidden village of Yumigahama opens. The voice calling to Mana leads her across a bridge and through that door. When she regains her senses, Mana is in a place overgrown with beautiful flowers. There, she meets children dressed in Japanese clothes. The boy who leads them, Ichinoshin, tells her she can't return from that place. He also tells her that they are from the second year of Bunsei, which means they're children from the Edo era. Will Kitaro and the others be able to find Mana? And what about the children...?!
We don't need this place to coddle us.
We're finding hope on our own.
.لا نريد هذا المكان المحمي
.سنجد الأمل بأنفسنا
Wir wollen nicht bloß behütet werden, sondern
unser eigenes Schicksal in die Hände nehmen.
Nous voulons bâtir notre avenir,
pas être couvés à jamais.
Non ce ne staremo in questo luogo protetto, 
ma otterremo la speranza con le nostre mani.
Não precisamos desse lugar para nos proteger.
Vamos encontrar a esperança sozinhos.
Нас не устраивает, что этот мир держит нас. 
Лучше будем искать надежду в нашем.
