    Maybe you want something short and comforting? If yes, you should definitely check this out. This ONA is a tourism advertisement for Hitoyoshi Kuma. Natsume and Ponta take an excursion to this serene place just to relax and enjoy the beautiful sceneries. It's just the two of them strolling in paradise, completely free from any conflicts and distractions. We've seen this many times before, and it is still enjoyable after 6 seasons. The quality of background arts and music is stellar and is quite similar to a regular full-length Natsume episode. It is simple, but wholesome. This is worth replaying, and maybe you'll consider going tothis place someday. If you're a fan of Natsume Yuujinchou, you'll enjoy this certainly.
