The highly anticipated second season of the fantasy anime series Kakuriyo -Bed & Breakfast for Spirits- (also known as Kakuriyo Yadomeshi Ni) is officially set to premiere in October 2025. The announcement came alongside the release of a new visual and teaser trailer, which also revealed that Nao Tōyama will perform the opening theme song titled “Tōryanse”.
Return to the Hidden Realm
Fans have eagerly awaited the continuation of Aoi Tsubaki’s adventures in the Hidden Realm since the first season concluded. The anime, based on Midori Yūma’s light novel series with illustrations by Laruha, follows Aoi, a college student who can see spirits and finds herself whisked away to the Tenjin-ya, an inn for ayakashi, to pay off her late grandfather’s debt. Rather than marrying the ogre-god master of the inn, Aoi opts to work off the debt by cooking for the spirits.
Teaser Trailer Highlights
The newly released teaser trailer offers a glimpse into the upcoming season, building excitement for the continuation of Aoi’s journey. While specific plot details from the teaser are not extensively detailed in the provided information, the visual presentation and the reveal of the opening theme artist are key takeaways. The teaser serves as a powerful reintroduction to the beloved world of ayakashi and culinary delights.
Nao Tōyama Returns for Opening Theme
Nao Tōyama, who previously performed the first opening theme song “Tō no Manimani” for the initial season of Kakuriyo -Bed & Breakfast for Spirits-, will return to contribute to the second season’s soundtrack. Her new song, “Tōryanse,” is confirmed as the opening theme, promising to set the tone for Aoi’s new challenges and encounters. Tōyama is also the voice actress for the protagonist, Aoi Tsubaki, further cementing her connection to the series.
Production Details and What to Expect
The second season, officially titled Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi: Ni, will see animation production handled by GONZO, the same studio behind the first season, with Makaria joining the production. Tomoko Konparu will reprise her role as the series composition writer, while Joe Yoshizaki (known for The Brilliant Healer’s New Life in the Shadows) will take over as director. The main cast, including Nao Tōyama as Aoi Tsubaki, Katsuyuki Konishi as Odanna, and Shunichi Toki as Ginji, are also set to return.
The original light novel series by Midori Yūma and Laruha ran from 2015 to 2022, concluding with 12 volumes. The first anime season, which premiered in April 2018, spanned 26 episodes. The long-awaited return in Fall 2025, specifically in October, suggests a renewed focus on expanding the narrative and deepening the relationships between Aoi and the diverse cast of spirits she encounters. The new season aims to invite viewers into a “new world of the hidden world,” promising a fresh yet familiar experience for fans.
