Yaji and Kita are jokingly striking poses around an itinerant monk with a bamboo hat they met on the way. Yaji is imitating a kabuki actor and introducing himself, “I’m not Naritaya but Tochimenya (Yaji’s trade name).” Tochimen were noodles made from horse chestnut flour mixed with wheat flour and buckwheat flour and eaten like udon. As it hardens quickly and must be prepared with speed, the cooker chaotically shakes the tochimenbō stick, to which a restless and flustered person was likened. Therefore, Yaji who is constantly making a fuss is named Tochimenya.

Kita gave a dango dumpling to a dog, but the dog ate all, and everyone from the teahouse lady to palanquin carriers is laughing at it. The signboard on the top left of the painting says “Yasumidokoro Nakayado Akitaya” which suggests that they are taking a break on their journey. Between Fujisawa-shuku and Hiratsuka-shuku, there were rest places for palanquin carriers and horses, called tateba. Those with particularly scenic views were used as rest spots for travelers and called tatebajaya teahouses.

Kita has his finger bitten by a soft-shelled turtle and calls Yaji for help. Yaji remembers the trouble he had when he was bitten by a soft-shelled turtle at an inn in Mishima-shuku, and gives advice to Kita. “What a trouble. A soft-shelled turtle doesn’t let go what it bites unless there is a thunder. Be patient.” Shortly after Yaji gives advice, the turtle lets go the finger, and Kita tells a joke.
