Quando o Japão se rende no final da Segunda Guerra Mundial, o soldado Hiroo Onoda se retira para as selvas das Filipinas para continuar a guerra ele mesmo por outros dez mil dias.

Every week at 5 p.m. an old man in a yellow mask shows up at a children's playground and tells them ghost stories based on myths and urban legends of Japanese origin. The man tells the stories on the back of his bicycle using a traditional kamishibai (Paper Drama) method and features a new tale each week.
