Later, Nobita's mom encounters a foreigner who shows the kids a small picture of a person dressed as samurai.

The foreigner has inherited this picture from his ancestors, and he has come to Japan in order to learn the truth about its origins. Nobita begins to think that Momotaro might have been a real person. In order to solve the mystery, he travels to the past of Japan along with Doraemon, Shizuka, Takeshi and Suneo.
