About Okko's Inn

After losing her parents in a car accident, Okko goes to live in the countryside with her grandmother, who runs a traditional Japanese inn built on top of an ancient spring said to have healing waters. While she goes about her chores and prepares to become the inn's next caretaker, Okko discovers that there are spirits who live there that only she can see - not scary ones, but welcoming ghosts who keep her company, play games and help her navigate her new environment.

Directed by: Kitarō Kōsaka
Language: English dubbing
Running time: 94 minutes

"A warm and adorable new addition to the growing subgenre of animated children's films about grief (see: Coco, Kubo and the Two Strings, and My Neighbor Totoro among many others, most of them Japanese)." — IndieWire

"In a divisive era, Okko’s Inn carries a welcome message of acceptance and inclusion." — The Los Angeles Times


Education and outreach programs at Asia Society Texas Center are made possible through generous funding from the George and Mary Josephine Hamman Foundation. Additional support provided by the Friends of Education & Outreach at Asia Society Texas Center. This program is presented in partnership with the Consulate General of Japan in Houston.
