Het verhaal speelt in de 19de eeuw in een afgelegen dorpje in Noord-Japan. In deze (fictieve) gemeenschap, dienen ouderen als ze de leeftijd van 70 jaar bereiken, naar de berg Nara te trekken om daar te sterven voor de oude Goden.
Nee, helaas is Narayama Bushikô nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
