As with the previous scene, this section of the Tokaido passed through desolate rice fields. Several travelers are seen taking shelter at a wayside lean-to, in front of which a woman stirs a kettle hung from the branch of a large tree. In the background it appears that a man leading a horse is approaching the village, where just the roofs are visible. Perhaps the weary travelers at the side of the road in the foreground could not afford accommodations in the post town.
Fukuroi was developed in 1616, later than most of the other post stations. Because it was in the vicinity of the former Totomi Province's three major temples, it also flourished as the gateway to the three temples. At its peak, Fukuroi was home to 195 buildings, with a population of approximately 843 people.
