Tora-san meets the beautiful Fumi Hamada (Keiko Matsuzaka) when she pays a visit to a grave on a small island in the Seto Inland Sea. Later, when Fumi is working as a geisha in Osaka, she reunites with Tora-san at the famed Ishikiri Shrine. On a date at the Hozanji Temple on Mt. Ikoma, Fumi tells Tora-san of the little brother she was separated from at an early age. Tora-san urges Fumi to seek him out and together they track him down, only to find that he has died. Tora-san gently consoles poor Fumi but he is put off by her obvious love for him. He returns to Shibamata leaving Fumi behind.
