Introduction
Ginotsu village: A population of 200 but only 60 in the main part of the village, Ginotsu has a small secondary school with two or three dozen students, a nearly abandoned train station, a local conbini (convenience store), a grocery store, a village cafe, a village bar, a single paved road with a single bus stop, seemingly outdated roadside vending machines, a shrine, a guesthouse, a bath house, a community center, a doctors office, a small police station and a small post office.
What to expect:
The people: The Ginotsu villagers are very friendly, probably even in a creepy way. They are open to make friends and seem to have a hard time letting people leave the village if they aren't from a neighboring village. Some watch you, some stalk you and some will even follow you if you go to the next town. They enjoy your company, but you sometimes wont enjoy theirs. The villagers are generally a bit weird and it feels like they don't want to be forgotten. However it is not like the village is mostly made up of old people abandoned by their family, rather the villagers are quite young on average with only a smaller older population as if the children have no desire to find employment in the city. Children usually stay at home until they are five and then visit primary school in the neighboring village. After that they go to the villages secondary school (which simply has a wear school type uniforms policy without any specification of what type). Some go to the university afterwards but eventually come back.
Why you might come to Ginotsu: You might have found a peaceful place to live and may have found the village by coincidence. You may want to have a peaceful vacation. You are adventurous and found the village. You may be a resident of a neighboring village. You may have wanted to find out why the train always stops at an empty station. Or you may have someone dear to you from the village. There are many possibilities, even ones not listed.
Notes: This is not a psycho thriller or a horror and definitely not Higurashi. No killing. Please refrain from yandere type characters. The villagers are dependent and not crazy.

She first stopped by the cafe to have a coffee and chat a little with whoever was there.

"It cant hurt to check out the station, the worst that can happen is for me to wait by the station until the train returns...Oh the games can wait for an hour, there is something about that station waiting to be solved!" Hayakawa spoke enthusiastically as he made his way over to the train station just in time to see the train running the line make a stop.
Boarding the train he took a seat in the relatively empty compartment and made himself conferrable in the empty seats. He then pulled out his phone and opened up a game to pass the time with, it would not be a long journey but as he could at least have some fun while he waited.

Kyoko ordered a coffee with a shot of caramel sirup and a shot of shochu. Enough to warm her up but barely any to make her drunk.

After surveying the people around the train, Hayakawa returned to his phone to continue playing games but it was immediately interrupted by the train slowing down and stopped at one of the stops to its destination. He looked up and looked outside his window and noticed the train had stopped at a seemingly abandoned station. Hawakawa turned off his phone and stood up from his seat, moving over to the trains exit and stepping onto the platform. As he left the train the doors closed behind him before continuing on its journey to where it was supposed to be going next.
Hayakawa looked around to see trees and vast wilderness, but he could now see any traces of civilization or any tourist attractions. "Time to look around for some secrets." Hayakawa spoke as he began to examine the nearby trees for anything. It took him a few minutes, but he eventually moved a shrub to the side and noticed a stone path behind it. "Well...well...well...Maybe there might be something here after all, might as well follow this path, should waste enough time for the train to return in..." He then glanced at his watched. "Two hours, enough time to look around." He finally stepped through the shrub and began to follow the stone path.

"Hello there!" She called out. "Are you coming to the village?"

After thinking for a second, Hayakawa scratched the back of his head when he realized that he had no idea where the village was. The path could have led to a fork in the road. "Um...sorry for asking this but could you point me to the village. I'm afraid I might get lost along the way in case there is a fork in the road or if following the path leads me to somewhere completely different." He chuckled a bit before waiting for the woman's response.

Eventually Kyoko lead Tashiro to a guesthouse and offered him some tea. "Sure, thanks for the offer." He nodded his head and looked around the guesthouse feeling nostalgic. He soon took his place on an open seat and checked his phone noticing that he had reception, even a place this far out had access to the internet, the wonders of technology in this day and age was simply amazing. As he pocketed his phone again, Kyoko spoke up and told him he could stay here if he wanted to, the fares and rent were cheap and Ginotsu appreciated the company. "I will surely keep that it mind, a cheaper rent and being closer to a store saves a lot of trouble. Also the people here seem nice and friendly. I'm certain if I do decide to live here for awhile I would feel right a home." Tashiro spoke.

As he downed the whole tea in a matter of seconds he placed the tea down before continuing. "Thanks for the tea again. But as I was saying, when the bank robber entered the station in cuffs you should have seen the look on everyone's faces. They were all surprised to see that illusive robber had been caught, heck I had to rub my eyes for...a while." He then gave a big yawn and rubbed his eyes. He was starting to feel a little sleepy, maybe it was from all the talking or all the tea he drank but whatever it was he placed his head on the counter and yawned again. "I think...I'm going to take a little..." He then fell asleep on the counter as the sedative kicked in.

He slowly sighed as he pocketed his phone before looking around, immediately he noticed Kyoko sitting down in the room. "I guess I have you to thank for the blanket, sorry for snoozing off like that, it must have been awkward to people to walk in and see a man asleep on the counter." He nervously laughed before continuing. "Well...looks like I won't be heading home for the night, looks like I am going to take up your offer for staying here for the night...how much is a room exactly?"
