Chihiro
Ogino (voiced by Rumi Hiiragi) and her parents are moving into a new home.
On the way, her father takes a wrong turn and ends up in front of a
strange, creepy tunnel. While mom and dad eagerly venture forward, Chihiro
cannot help but feel a strong sense of dread and uneasiness.
On the other
side is a wide open field which looks to be the remnants of an old amusement
park. The place is deserted, but an alluring smell of hot food brings
the family in closer. When they eventually find the stand, it too is void of
people. This doesn’t stop Chihiro’s parents from digging in anyway, but Chihiro chooses not to partake and continues to explore the park.
As the sun
begins to set, Chihiro comes across a massive bath house
resort. Oddly enough there's smoke coming from the chimneys, indicating the place is operational. Before having a chance to look any further,
Chihiro runs into a boy (voiced by Miyu Irino).
Looking frantic, the boy warns Chihiro to leave before the sun fully sets; otherwise she
will be stuck here forever. The entire place becomes alive with a strange
assortment of beast and spirits. Chihiro runs back to where she left her
parents, but to her horror they both have been transformed into pigs.
