=== Otogi Bunko ===
In the ''Otogi Bunko'' (or "Companion Library") version, a young fisherman named Urashima Tarō catches a turtle on his fishing line and releases it. The next day, Urashima encounters a boat with a woman on it wishing to be escorted home. She does not identify herself, although she is the transformation of the turtle that was spared.{{efn|She only reveals this when Urashima wants to leave the Dragon Palace.}} When Urashima rows her boat to her magnificent residence, she proposes that they marry.<ref name=waterhouse /> The residence is the Dragon Palace, and <!--start of contribution by MartinPoulter, 10:07, 30 July 2015 -->on the four sides of the palace, each gardenscape is in a different season<!--end-->.<ref name=shirane /> Urashima decides to return to his home after three years and is given a {{Nihongo|memento box|かたみの筥/箱|katami no hako}} in parting<!--かたみの筥-->.{{Refn|group="lower-alpha"|name=tamatebako-in-bunko|However the box is called ''tamatebako'' in the ''Otogi Bunko'' version, not in the main text, but in the inserted poem that contains the expression "'''akete kuyashiki'''" which later led to the stock phrase "{{Nihongo|opened to his regret(mortification), the tamatebako|開けて悔しき玉手箱|akete kuyashiki tamatebako}}" which has become well-known in association with the Urashima tale.{{sfnp|McKeon|1996|pp=111, 114}} This poem is quoted not just in the Otogi Bunko and all the Group IV texts,<ref>Hayashi (2012), ''Bulletin'' '''26''', p.10</ref> but in Group I also.{{sfnp|Hayashi|2011|p=10}}}} He arrives in his hometown to find it desolate, and discovers 700 years have passed since he last left it.
