こんにちは、小春です🐰🩷

小春の7月最後のデートは、京都でした🍵✨

彼氏さんはお休み期間に日本に旅行に来ているそうで
なんと前日に小春のことを見つけ、
そのまま次の日に会うことになった弾丸デート！

小春も彼氏さんも朝から何も食べていなかったので、
まずはおにぎり屋さんへ🍙

昔ながらの古民家にあるお店で、
すごく急な階段を登った先には、
おばあちゃんのお家のような安心する空間がありました😌🩷

朝が早く、他のお客さんがいなかったので、
ソファ席を貸し切りのように二人で使いながら、
初めましての彼氏さんといろいろなお話をしました！

彼氏さんは、小春には難しすぎて全然分からないような
専門的な勉強をしているうえに、
違う国でお仕事も頑張っていて本当にすごい👏

勉強とお仕事を両立しながら努力を続けている姿は、
とても尊敬できて、小春ももっと頑張ろうと刺激をもらいました✨

(おにぎりもお味噌汁も家庭的で優しい味がして本当に美味しかった🍙✨)

お腹を満たした後は、伏見稲荷大社へ⛩️

二人でおみくじを引いたり、
たくさん並んだ鳥居の中を歩いたりしました。

人が多くてとても暑かったのですが、
山の奥へ進んでいくと木陰が増えて、
少し涼しくなりました🎐

途中で彼氏さんが探していた鐘を見つけたり、
自然に囲まれた道を歩いたりして
とてもリラックスして楽しめました✨

彼氏さんは、将来は自然が多い、のどかな場所で暮らしたいそうで
彼氏さんのおばあちゃんのお家とか小春の地元の話とかをしながら
一緒に静かな山道を歩く時間も楽しかったです🌳

たくさん歩いた後は、抹茶あんみつを食べました🍵

小春は和スイーツに目がないので、大喜び！笑




(机に空の模様が反射していて素敵⛅️✨)

その後は錦市場へ行くことに！


この日はすごく天気が良くて気温が高かったので
自然にカフェに足が向かい、
彼氏さんが冷たいかき氷と小春はドーナツを食べました🍩🍧

美味しいものを食べるたびに
二人で一緒に「いただきます」と「ごちそうさま」を何度も言いました。

日本語の食事の挨拶を一緒に言ってくれるのが、なんだか嬉しかったです🤍

そしてデートの最後には、まさかの占いを行くことになりました🔮

小春が前日に占いへ行った話をしていたので、
彼氏さんもやってみようと言ってくれて、
占ってもらうことになりました！

彼氏さんは手を見せただけで占い師さんにすぐ頭がいいことがバレていました笑

それに、小春は知り合ったばかりでしたが、
彼氏さんの優しさや、一緒にいて自然と落ち着ける居心地の良さを感じていました。

すると占い師さんも、「この方はとても優しくて、人を安心させる力がありますね」とおっしゃっていて、「やっぱりそうなんだ！」と小春まで嬉しくなってしまいました🤍

ちなみに
占い師さんのお話を小春が訳していたのですが
半分くらいしか伝えられなかったので

彼氏さん本人よりも小春の方が、

彼氏さんの運勢や恋愛のことなど詳しく知っています笑

(左手と右手それぞれでわかることが違うんだそうです🔮✨)

前日に見つけてくれたとは思えないくらい、
最初から自然にたくさんお話しすることができたし、
彼氏さんのことをたくさん知れてとても楽しい一日でした。

小春に会いに来てくれて、本当にありがとう🤍

また日本に来たときは、一緒に花火大会に行ったり
イカ焼きやお寿司を食べようね🦑🌸

Hello, it’s Koharu 🐰🩷

My last date in July was in Kyoto 🍵✨
My boyfriend was visiting Japan during his vacation,

and surprisingly, he found me just the day before.

We ended up meeting the very next day for a spontaneous date!

Neither of us had eaten anything since the morning,
so our first stop was an onigiri cafe 🍙

The cafe was inside a traditional old Japanese house.

After climbing a very steep staircase,
we found a cozy space
that felt just like a grandmar’s home 😌🩷

It was still early, and there were no other customers,

so we had the sofa seating area almost entirely to ourselves.

While relaxing there, I talked about all kinds of things with my boyfriend, whom I had only just met.

He is studying a highly specialized subject that is far too difficult for me to understand,

and he is also working hard in another country.
I honestly think that is amazing 👏

Seeing him continue to work hard while balancing
both his studies and his job
made me respect him even more.

He also inspired me to work harder myself ✨


After filling our stomachs,
we headed to Fushimi Inari Taisha ⛩️

We drew omikuji fortune slips together
and walked through the rows of countless torii gates.

There were many people,
and it was extremely hot,
but as we continued farther into the mountain,
there were more trees and shaded areas,
so it gradually became a little cooler 🎐

Along the way,
we found the bell he had been looking for
and walked along paths surrounded by nature.
It was very peaceful and relaxing ✨

He told me that, in the future,
he would like to live somewhere quiet
and peaceful with lots of nature.

As we walked together along the calm mountain path,
we talked about his grandmother’s home and my hometown.

I really enjoyed that peaceful time together 🌳


After walking so much,
we had matcha anmitsu 🍵
I absolutely love traditional Japanese sweets,
so I was very happy!

After that, we decided to visit Nishiki Market!

The weather was beautiful that day,
but the temperature was very high,
so we naturally found ourselves heading into a café.

He had some refreshing shaved ice,
while I had a doughnut 🍩🍧

Every time we ate something delicious,
we said “itadakimasu” before eating
and “gochisousama” after finishing together.

It made me strangely happy that he joined me
in saying these Japanese greetings at mealtimes 🤍


At the end of our date,
we unexpectedly decided to visit a fortune-teller 🔮


I had told him that I had gone for a fortune-telling session the day before,
so he said that he wanted to try it too.

The fortune-teller could immediately tell that
he was intelligent just by looking at his hands📖👐

Even though I had only just met him,
I had already noticed how kind he was
and how naturally calm and comfortable I felt when I was with him.

Then the fortune-teller also said,
“This person is very kind and has the ability to make others feel safe and relaxed.”

Hearing that made me happy too,
 because I thought, “I knew it!” 🤍

By the way, I translated what the fortune-teller said from Japanese into English,

but I was only able to explain about half of it.
Because of that, I probably know more
about his fortune, love life, and future than he does himself😆

It was hard to believe that
he had only found me the day before,
because we were able to talk so naturally from the very beginning.

I learned so much about him,
and it was such a fun day.

Thank you so much for coming to see me 🤍

When you come back to Japan,
let’s go to a fireworks festival together
and eat super delicious sushi 🎆🍣
