caption_attribution_description: 日本語: 木曽街道六十九次之内　福島　浦島太郎。歌川国芳作。木曽川の川辺の松の根元でたたずむ浦島太郎、亀。亀の口からは蜃気楼が吐かれていて、そのさきに蓬莱がみえる。海のない山中でおこった浦島伝説であることに注意。参照：寝覚の床。 English: Kuniyoshi Utagawa, (38.) Fukushima Station, 1852.　Series:"69 stations of the Kiso-kaidō". The print depicts Urashima Tarō beneath a pine tree on the shore of the Kiso River; he is accompanied by a tortoise, from whose mouth issues a vision of Hōrai. Note that there is a local legend that developed here around Urashima, but this area is landlocked and nowhere near ocean. See Nezame no toko, which is actually closer to Agematsu station rather than adjacent Fukushima.
