In the near future, everyone is eager to travel.
In Japan, where competition in the tourism industry is extremely fierce, some popular tourist destinations have begun operating as "Independent Special Tourism Zones".
HAMA Ward 18, which used to be one of the leaders in the Special Tourist Zone space, has fallen into disrepair without a trace of its former glory.
The protagonist, an individual who loves HAMA -- the place they were born and raised -- gets involved with a childhood friend and ends up struggling to build the tourism industry back up.
Experience events just a bit out of the ordinary, with a burning passion for hospitality. Your partners on this journey are the heads of the tourist wards, who have emotional baggage they can't share with anyone.
We'll record these memories onto cassette tapes, and turn them into unforgettable memories of our journey.
Hamasaki Momiji
Younger sister who loves traveling and hospitality

The current director of HAMA 3. He always acts like an arrogant and bossy celebrity, but in reality, he's a dim-witted underachiever, clumsy, and quite negative person, who is trying desperately to pretend otherwise. He wants to follow in the footsteps of his father and grandmother, who were the previous directors of the entertainment district, but it's not working out so well and he's struggling.

The childhood friend of the protagonist, and a genius from the prestigious Oguro family.

Site Profile
The protagonist's younger childhood friend, a member of the famous Oguro family, and an unmatched genius. Though he was hailed as a child prodigy, he was too sickly to leave the hospital in his youth, and so his greatest pleasure was being regaled on the stories behind the souveniers that the protagonist brought back to him from their travels. After a successful major surgery, he was appointed as the director of HAMA Ward 0, which oversees the other 18 wards. He launched the "HAMA Tours" program and is taking a huge gamble on his endeavor to rebuild HAMA as a major tourist destination.

Always smiling and amicable; a young man who says whatever people want to hear and is a great listener, so it's easy to get caught up talking for him too long whenever you run into him.

Site Profile
A young man who flings savage disses at everyone around him, even adults. He's a cynic who can't stop himself from being snide about everything, and he only ever opens up to Muneuji of Ward 8, who has been his friend since childhood. Despite his acerbic personality, the chocolate desserts he makes are exquisitely sweet, even enough to impress Muneji. He's secretly a hardcore otaku of a certain genre, and whenever a new book by a writer who goes by "Senseiu-sensei"[1] (who is regarded as a legend in the space) comes out, he becomes a totally different person.
[1] Literally "acid rain-sensei". It's a pen name, but I think the effect is more important than the meaning.

Site Profile
In sharp contrast to his younger twin brother, Toi, he is a sharp-eyed and aggressive young delinquent. He has a strong power of attraction for things that can't be seen with the naked eye; since he's had trouble with a certain "something" ever since he was small, he views just about everyone else as "dumbass spiritual disturbances waiting to happen". He has a devilish personality and is not good at being honest, but with his younger brother -- on whom he's doted ever since they were born -- he can express his love openly and without embarassment.
