Kino's Journey

On WOWOW Prime

A philosophical travel narrative that uses episodic encounters across fantastical lands to explore meaning, human nature, and the nature of observation itself.

In Kino's Journey, the protagonist, Kino, accompanied by a talking motorcycle named Hermes, travels through a mystical world of many different countries and forests, each unique in its customs and people. She only spends three days and two nights in every town, without exception, on the principle that three days is enough time to learn almost everything important about a place, while leaving time to explore new lands.
