The lone merchant arrives in Miyanoshita, Hakone to take a look at a gallery/cafe called "Naraya Cafe" as a potential venue for a friend's exhibit. The cafe is managed by a pleasant man (Doi Yoshio) who is secretly nicknamed "Momi-yan" by Goro because of his huge sideburns. The owner also treats Goro to anything he likes and so he orders the cafe's specialty, a unique gourd-shaped monaka with sweet sesame seed paste filling. Afterwards, Goro decides to take a stroll around the village by way of the Miyanoshita Walking Trail. He reaches an old elementary school turned preschool. He reminisces and plays in the schoolyard until his hunger creeps in. He decides to eat at a tavern whose sign he saw a moment ago, during his walk.

Finally he arrives at "Iroriya", a shop which is being run by two ladies: an elderly one (Onuki Kae) and a younger woman (Aoyama Noriko).

お腹がすいた五郎が選んだのは地図では一番近いはずの「いろり家」。なかなか見つからないが何とか探しあて、たどり着く。そこでなんと足柄牛の「ステーキ丼」を所望。ほか、旬野菜のゴマ和え、ワカサギの南蛮漬けも頼む。アワビ丼にも惹かれたが…独りの五郎には無理で、いつものごとく独りの自由を謳歌するのだった。
이번 고로는 온천으로 유명한 카나와 현 하코네에 간다. 족탕에서 물에 발을 담그고 여유롭게 마실 수 있는 커피와 나라얀 참깨소를 맛본다. 산책과 온천유치원을 구경하는 도중, 배고픔을 느끼고 이로리라는 가게에 들어가게 되는데...
