Plot edit

Two high school girls, Ruri and Yumi, head to Kyoto on a school field trip. The two try to take a picture on the Kamo River, but they fall into the river and dry their clothes on the riverbank. There, they meets a young man and they photographed it. After that, they head to Gion, where Oshin's teahouse, which is a friend of Ruri's mother's faith, is located, and are introduced to Hinagiku and the three become friends. Hinagiku wants to meet a young male student named Saitō Matabei, who he met twice in a tatami room in Kyoto before welcoming a man she doesn't like as his husband. It turned out that they were in Izu after they searched together. The three of them try to go to Izu, but Ruri gives up because of the opposition from his faith.

Oshin was thinking of meeting Ruri's father, Kitajima, at Ruri's Japanese traditional dance recital. Due to the opposition of the surroundings, Oshin, who was a geisha, and Kitajima, a diplomat, were separated, but Kitajima offered to meet Ruri before he was appointed as the French ambassador. Yumi and Hinagiku, who came to Izu with Ruri, met Saitō Matabei, but Saito was the same person as the young man who once photographed by Ruri and Yumi.

After learning that Saito had already applied for marriage to Yumi's parents, Hinagiku returns to Kyoto with heartbreak. On the other hand, Saito, who learned about the circumstances of Hinagiku, consulted with his father, a businessman, and got money to help him free. And on the day of the concert, Mr. and Mrs. Kitajima, Yumi, Saito, and Hinagiku who have recovered from their heartbreak will also come to the venue. After finishing the dance, Ruri calls Kitajima his father for the first time and reunites without being particular about the history of their past.
