She meets the ghost of Uribo, a rambunctious boy who loved her grandmother when they were
children. He begs Okko to help out at the inn, as Mineko is overtaxed.
Uribo offers the lonely girl a much-needed friend: He tells her stories about the childhood he
shared with her grandmother — and explains how the inn should function.
5. What value did Okko learn from the last guests of her grandma's inn?
Towards the end of the film, Okko’s Inn delivers much needed catharsis for Okko when she
encounters someone involved with her accident, leading to a genuinely emotional moment. This is
where we’re shown Okko’s growth from a passive little kid to a dutiful innkeeper maintaining the
openness of Hananoyu’s waters and guest services. She reconciles with the tragic events that befell
her and learns to move on with her life. She realizes that hatred will not bring her mother and father
back; kindness and forgiveness will make life better for everyone.
