Synopsis

Mt. Takao is located on the outskirts of Tokyo. Hana (Naoko IIJIMA) and Akari Komori (Kyoko FUKADA) grew up there in a teahouse owned by their parents. When Hana was still 20, she left the mountain with high expectations of finding happiness. Hana's belief was the only person that can give her happiness is herself. Akari was only 6-years old when Hana left home. But every time Hana was unsuccessful in love, marriage, and work, she would always pack up and return home.

Akari is in junior college when her 34-year-old sister Hana returns home. Their father Kichitaro (Takeo CHII) is furious with Hana. "You're 34 and single. What in the world are you doing back home?" On the other hand, Hana's mother Asako (Hideko YOSHIDA) has a worried look on her face. Everybody thought that after staying a week, Hana would go back to Tokyo like she always does. But this time, the situation is different. "I'm going to find myself a husband here, and take over the tea house" says Hana.

Meanwhile, Akari, who is busy job-hunting, thinks to herself, "I'm not like my sister. I will definitely find happiness on my own!" Despite all of her visits to interviews, Akari hasn't received a single job offer. Still 20, she is already suffering from the frustrations of life.

Since Hana started helping out her parents' teahouse, she has stopped wearing make-up, and doesn't care about the way she looks anymore. Kichitaro is disappointed with her. "Nobody here cares how I look anyway," she tells him. Besides, the only "men" that Hana meet are Ken Takubo (Masanobu KATSUMURA), the cable-car driver, Jurota Yamada (Arata FURUTA), the keeper at the monkey-zoo, and Junpei Koizumi (Tetsuji TAMAYAMA), a young guy working at the pub located in the foothills of the mountain.

Akari's boyfriend, Tetsuro Takamura (Yu YOSHIZAWA), is a medical student and the heir to a giant hospital. Akari's friends are envious of her, but unaware of Akari's guilt towards Tetsuro. The truth is, in front of Tetsuro, Akari had been acting like she comes from a rich family. They've been going out for three months, but Akari still hasn't told her boyfriend that she lives in the mountains and her parents run a teahouse. She makes an excuse of having a strict curfew, but actually, she just wants to catch the final cable-car that will take her home.

One day, when Hana is walking alone on the mountain, a foreign man suddenly grabs her arm. "You think Japanese girls are weak, eh?" Hana punches the man right in the face. Rubbing his hurt nose, the man holds out Hana's hair ornament that she dropped-a gift from her mother. It turns out that the man just wanted to give it back to her.
