"Konjaku Monogatari Shu" (Tales of Times Now Past) completed in the late Heian period also includes a similar story to Taketori Monogatari (volume 31, 'A story of Taketori no Okina who found a baby girl and brought her up'), but in this version the plot is more simplified: only three difficult tasks are given to the suitors; Princess Kaguya doesn't return to the moon on the 15th night; a history of the name of Mt. Fuji is not introduced.
平安時代後期の『今昔物語集』にも竹取物語と同様の説話（巻31｢竹取の翁、女児を見つけて養う語」）が採集されているが、求婚者への難題は3題のみであり、月へ帰る夜も十五夜でなく、富士山の地名由来譚も登場しない、『竹取物語』より簡略された内容である。
