While resting in a bamboo forest, Ginko is approached by an odd man named Kisuke, who tells Ginko that he has been lost in the forest for 3 years. Ginko seems to have also become lost, and decides to go off and figure something out about the forest. After managing to get out of the forest, Ginko figures out that it's the work of a "Magaridake".
Ginko croise un homme qui, avec sa famille, ne peuvent quitter la forêt. Lorsqu'ils essaient d'en sortir, ils se retrouvent irrémédiablement à leur point de départ, ainsi que tous ceux les accompagnant.
Durante il viaggio attraverso una foresta di bambù, Ginko incontra un uomo seguito da moglie e figlio per cui risulta impossibile lasciare la foresta.
