Kiyomori hastily decides to move the capital to Fukuhara from Kyoto in spite of objection from others. Yoshitsune hears about the new capital from Hidehira and remembers Kiyomori talking about his city of dreams. In Izu, Yoritomo makes up his mind to rise against the Heike family as an answer to Mochihito-ou's order. Though he defeats Izu’s local magistrate, he is beaten in the battle of Ishibashiyama and then is saved by Kajiwarano Kagetoki, one of the Heike's followers. In Fukuhara, Tokiko and other Heike women including Yoshitsune's half-sister Yoshiko is gracefully enjoying a chrysanthemum viewing party.
