As for its plot, My Anime List has this to say about it:
Yoshizou Yukawa is a passionate hot springs enthusiast—a hot springs hunter who was able to sniff out the source of springs. One day, while searching for a hidden hot spring to revitalize a town, he slips off a cliff and dies.
He is then reincarnated into another world by an Inari deity of a small shrine hidden in the rocks. Yoshizou is joined by Inari’s messenger princess, Mayudama.
The hot spring hunter within Yoshizou is stirred right away, as he takes a bath with Mayudama in the hot spring he just discovered. Then, an elf girl appears..
The Meitou “Isekai no Yu” Kaitaku-ki anime series will premiere in January, 2024 during the Winter, 2023 anime season.
Take a nice long look at the beautiful Meitou “Isekai no Yu” Kaitaku-ki visual above, and mark your calendars for January.
Yeah, this one is ecchi, but it still looks damned cute!
