On a whim, Mayuko Kuramoto checks into the nostalgic “Honnouji Hotel” which is tucked away on the backstreets of Kyoto. Little does she know that the hotel serves as a mysterious portal into feudal era Japan. She is transported into 1582, the Sengoku Period. With the unification of Japan within his grasp, Nobunaga Oda and a few of his loyal retainers, including Ranmaru Mori, have taken up residence in Kyoto’s Honnouji Temple. The Sengoku Period is rife with vassals whose very lives exist at the mercy of cruel feudal lords. Mayuko stumbles into the temple, a strangely dressed woman from another world, 400 years into the future. Confused and lost, she is guided by Nobunaga around the streets of Kyoto. As she gets to know this enigmatic man, she cannot help but be drawn to his courage and humanity. Mayuko begins to grasp the reality that she has slipped into 1582 on the eve of the most famous event in Japanese history – The Honnouji Incident…
