The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes

The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes (2022) is a Japanese animated film you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Tomohisa Taguchi and based on Mei Hachimoku's light novel. The premise is simple and unforgiving: inside the Urashima Tunnel, any wish can come true — but every minute spent there costs years of your life.

High-schooler Kaoru hasn't stopped thinking about his younger sister, who died five years ago. He wants her back. One night he finds himself standing at the tunnel entrance. He isn't alone — transfer student Anzu is already there, watching. She proposes a methodical investigation, framed like a proper experiment. Kaoru agrees, though neither of them is fully honest about what they're looking for or what they're willing to sacrifice.

Voiced by Oji Suzuka and Marie Itoyo, the two leads carry a story that moves quietly and lands hard. Studio Clap produced the film with a visual style that keeps the countryside setting grounded even as the fantasy elements build. Stream The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes (2022) online on iFILM — a precise, melancholy anime about grief, obsession, and what it means to let go.
