Hinamizawa is a quiet village nestled among the mountains, and its simple, honest customs have allowed this ancient village to preserve the sacrificial rites of its ancestors, known as Watanagashi. In the summer of Showa 58 (1983), the village welcomes a new resident: a boy named Keiichi Maebara (voiced by Soichiro Hoshi). The new environment is a little hard for Keiichi to get used to, but after he meets the gentle Rena Ryugu (voiced by Mai Nakahara), the lively Mion Sonozaki (voiced by Satsuki Yukino), the outwardly frail but inwardly strong Satoko Hojo (voiced by Mika Kanai), and Rika Furude (voiced by Yukari Tamura), his new life quickly gets into full swing. As time passes, the annual Watanagashi Festival is about to begin, but amid the excitement, Keiichi hears about some unknown past of Hinamizawa and the terrifying incidents brought by the Watanagashi Festival over the years, known as "kamikakushi," in which one person goes missing and one person dies. Are these rumors true or false? Is the simple, happy life of the past real or not? As an "outsider," Keiichi Maebara unexpectedly draws closer to the truth of a major incident.
