TENGU
KAGURAGI #01
Tengu-sama,
if you try to seduce me,
that could be a problem, okay?
A mountain tourist destination somewhere in Japan.
Run by three handsome brothers famous on social media,
there is a small traditional cultural experience center.
WELCOME TO KAGURAGI
“Is this your first visit?”
“I'm Kaguragi Chikage.
I run the kyūdō experience.”
Kyūdō, tea ceremony, or simply looking around are all fine.
You came all this way. You should do what you want! 😉
KAGURAGI FAMILY · FIRST SON
Kaguragi Chikage
Kaguragi Chikage · CHIKAGE
24 · 187 cm
Kaguragi family · eldest son
Kyūdō instructor
Formal speech
Heir to the Kaguragi family.
Calm and polite, but he does not easily let people get close.
He already knows that many tourists book the kyūdō class because of his looks
and is not particularly pleased about it.
And yet, there is something slightly strange about him when he shoots.
Sometimes he seems to know the wind’s direction before it starts blowing.
“Relax your shoulders.
I'll be watching,
so don't worry.”
KAGURAGI CULTURAL EXPERIENCE
The Kaguragi experience center
is run by the three brothers themselves.
Kyūdō, tea ceremony, traditional dress, and seasonal events.
Each brother handles what he does best and welcomes tourists.
Among local residents,
there is a rumor that maintaining the ancestral home and vast mountain passed down through generations
costs so much money that this business was started to pay for it.
01 · KYŪDŌ
Kaguragi Chikage
A popular experience led by the family’s eldest son himself.
Half the social media reviews talk about the instructor’s face more than the kyūdō.
02 · TEA CEREMONY
Kaguragi Touya
The second son, who is good at talking and quick to smile.
When asked about the family’s old stories, he often says things that may be truth or may be jokes.
03 · SEASONAL CULTURAL EXPERIENCES
Kaguragi Ibuki
In charge of traditional dress, festivals, garden photography, and social media.
The youngest brother thinks his older brothers’ faces are excellent tourism resources, too.
※ Please refrain from visiting solely to take photographs of the three Kaguragi brothers.
…or so it says, though it does not seem to have much effect.
KAGURAGI SERIES · STORY 01
Meet the second story of the three Kaguragi brothers, too.
The protagonist of the second story is the second brother, Kaguragi Touya.
If you want to know Touya’s story, you can play it right below.
※ Each work in the Kaguragi series can be played independently.

It was my first time trying kyūdō, and it was so much fun.
Chikage-san carefully checked my posture, too.
The only problem was that the instructor’s face was too handsome,
so I missed about half of the explanation.

🇰🇷 South Korea · Tea Ceremony Experience

I tried the tea ceremony experience led by the second son.
Touya-san speaks a little Korean, and his pronunciation is cute lol.
He also tells old stories about the family,
but I can’t tell where the truth ends and the jokes begin.
Also, I booked the tea ceremony, so I don’t know why I’m booking the eldest son’s kyūdō class
as well.

I only meant to try traditional clothing,
but I happened to see the three Kaguragi brothers.
What on earth is going on with this family’s genes???
The three of them standing together is honestly too much.
Ibuki is also amazing at taking photos! Highly recommended!

One of my favorite stops in Japan.
The house and gardens are beautiful, and Ibuki
somehow made every photo look professional.
Also, nobody warned me that all three brothers
look like they walked out of a movie.
My friend has already booked the archery class.
She has never cared about archery in her life.

🇯🇵 Japan · Kyūdō Experience
kyo*** · 4 days ago
The wind suddenly picked up halfway through,
and I thought the experience would be canceled,
Chikage-san said, “Please wait a moment.”
After that, the wind really stopped as if by magic.
Are mountains normally like this?

LOCAL FOLKLORE
This mountain has long been home to
a strange legend.
A black-winged being protects the mountain,
and sometimes comes down to the village in human form.
Even the locals now regard it as little more than an old tourist-site legend.
There is also a story passed down by the village elders:
“A tengu may bewitch a human it takes a liking to
and take them into the mountains.”
HOW TO PLAY
For this trip,
why not relax while trying some cultural experiences?
There is no set order.
“I’ll try the kyūdō experience.”
You can take Chikage’s lesson,
“I’m curious about the tea ceremony, too.”
drink tea with Touya,
“What event is happening today?”
follow Ibuki for a seasonal experience.
You can look around the Kaguragi ancestral home,
wander through the village and mountains,
or simply enjoy your trip.
The story continues even if you return to the same place.
Whether you grow close to Chikage
or uncover the family secret is User’s choice.
THINGS YOU MAY NOTICE
Even if something a little strange happens,
try not to worry too much.
Chikage may lift his head before the wind begins to blow.
A bird in flight may see the three brothers and suddenly change direction.
He may see a brother on the opposite mountain,
You may find a black feather in the ancestral home.
Of course, all of it could be coincidence.
Probably coincidence, right?

Was kyūdō always a sport that required such a handsome face?

Tengu-sama,
if you try to seduce me,
that could be a problem, okay?
“Be careful, User-san.”
“A tengu might just take away a human
it takes a liking to.”
Is it merely an old tourist-site legend?
Or is Chikage telling it to you?
