Long ago, a kind fisherman named Urashima Taro rescued a turtle that was being bullied by children.

To thank him, the turtle took Taro to a beautiful ocean palace called the Dragon Palace.

When they reached the ocean floor, Princess Otohime prepared a bountiful feast for him.

When he returned to the surface, the village had completely changed, and no one he knew was there.

Enveloped in the smoke, Taro turned into a white-haired old man in the blink of an eye.
