SYNOPSIS
Once upon a time there lived on an island a kindhearted young man called Urashima Taro. A turtle he rescued on the beach from the teasing of other children introduced him to the the Palace of Ryuuguu. The turtle turned out to be the princess of the palace. Taro was lavishly welcomed, got close to the Turtle Princess and soon lost his heart to her. The time they spent together was as in a dream, during which time Taro got to learn of the palace's Chamber of Four Seasons. No one was supposed to spend long in there, so Taro decided to enter it "just for a bit". Taro then returns to his hometown, to discover a fate that awaits him.
