At the end of Edo period, Shoji Rui hands over her birthright to her relatives with the death of her father and begins running an inn "Kawasemi" in Ōkawabata. And she settles the matters in their daily lives with her lover Kamibayashi Tōgo, doshin (a sort of constable) Une Genzaburō, physician Amanō Sotarō, and O-Kichi.
Rui (Mano Kyoko) turns down Chiyoji (Oka Mayumi) who requests a room at the Kawasemi Inn, lying that it is fully booked. When Togo (Onodera Akira) asks why, Rui says that Chiyoji has come several times before, but always with a different man. Rui says that she cannot provide a room for such a business. Togo learns that Chiyoji is a geisha, but a geisha cannot run such a business on her own. Chiyoji has her own issues with her mother Okatsu (Fumino Tomoko), and she also has difficult problems with Kijimaya Tokijiro (Kishibe Ittoku).
