今回は、タイから旅行で来ていた彼氏さんとのデートでした！🇹🇭✨


今回は、夕食の前に少し二人で大阪観光をして、そのあとご飯を食べに行くプラン。


まずは難波周辺を一緒に歩きました！
最初に向かったのは、法善寺横丁。


道頓堀のすぐ近くにあるのに、
少し中へ入るだけでガラッと雰囲気が変わって、
日本らしい風情が感じられる場所です。




法善寺にも立ち寄って、一緒に手を清めたり、
ゆっくり境内を見て回ったり。


路地裏では猫も見つけました🐈笑


彼氏さんは写真を撮るのが好きだそうで、かわいいデジカメを持ってきていました！

日本らしい風景をたくさん写真に収めていて、
小春も「どんな写真が撮れてるんだろう〜」と気になりながら一緒に歩いていました📷




そのあとは、もう少し歩いてTHE 大阪な雰囲気を楽しみに！
向かったのは道頓堀のゲームセンターです！


ここのゲームセンター、
とにかくお祭りみたいな雰囲気ですごく楽しいんです！笑

二人でクレーンゲームを見ながら「これ難しいね〜」と話したり、
ずっと喋っているロボットを見つけて笑ったり😂見ているだけでもかなり楽しめました！




小春も黒糖のお麩菓子が欲しくてクレーンゲームに挑戦したのですが、
小春が取れたのはなぜか全部うまい棒😂


そんな中、彼氏さんが小春の欲しかったお麩菓子を取ってくれました！ありがとう〜！笑


そしてここで、彼氏さんがなんとフィルムカメラも持っていて小春の写真も撮ってくれました📸


フィルムカメラって、撮ったその場ではどんな写真になっているのか分からないけれど、
現像するまでのお楽しみがあるのも素敵ですよね。


普段あまりフィルムカメラで写真を撮ってもらうことがないので、
小春はちょっとぎこちない表情になっているかもしれませんが……
それも含めて思い出になりそうです☺️笑





そして最後は、楽しみにしていた夜ご飯！
今回は彼氏さんが焼肉の食べ放題を予約してくれていました🥩✨


お店に入ってびっくり😳
ご飯ものやデザートまで本当にたくさんの種類があって、小春は大興奮でした！笑


彼氏さんはお酒も飲むとのことだったので、二人で飲み放題もつけました🍻


自分たちで好きなドリンクを作れるスタイルだったので、
それも一緒に楽しめてちょっとした体験みたいで面白かったです！




焼肉を食べていると、彼氏さんが部位ごとのおいしい焼き方をすごくよく知っていて、
上手に焼いてくれました。


焼き方や部位が違うだけでこんなに味が変わるんだ！とびっくり。
これからは小春も少し焼き方を勉強しようと思います😂


一緒にご飯を食べながら、彼氏さんのタイでの生活について聞いたり、お仕事の話を聞いたり。


小春のこともいろいろ聞いてくれて、お互いのことをたくさん話すことができました。


国が違うからこそ「そんな違いがあるんだ！」と思うこともたくさんあって、
すごく楽しかったです☺️


そして最後に……
彼氏さんが小春に、素敵なブレスレットをプレゼントしてくれました。


どうやってプレゼントを選んでくれたのかも話してくれて、
小春のことをたくさん考えながら選んでくれたことが伝わってきて、本当に嬉しかったです。


大切にします。ありがとうございます☺️🤍


今回のお店も小春が楽しめるようにいろいろ考えて選んでくれたことが伝わってきて、
それもすごく嬉しかったです。


小春にとっては、旅行中の大切な時間を使って「小春と会おう」と思ってくれることだけでも、
本当にありがたくて幸せなことです。


だからこそ、小春も「会ってよかった！」と思ってもらえるくらい、
一緒にいる時間を楽しいものにしたいなと改めて思いました☺️


今回のデートも、彼氏さんにとって日本旅行の素敵な思い出のひとつになっていたら嬉しいです。



この日のデートも本当にあっという間。

お別れするのが少し名残惜しいな〜と思っていたら……


なんと彼氏さんから、次の日のコラボカフェにも誘ってもらいました！😳✨


また次の日のこともブログに書きますね！
それではまた！

This time, I went on a date with a boyfriend
who was visiting Japan from Thailand! 🇹🇭✨

Our plan was to explore Osaka for a little while before dinner,

so we started by walking around Namba together.

Our first stop was Hozenji Yokocho.

Even though it is located right next to Dotonbori,

the atmosphere completely changes
as soon as you step into the narrow alleyways.

It has a very traditional Japanese atmosphere,
and we enjoyed walking around slowly together. ☺️

We also stopped by Hozenji Temple,

where we washed our hands
and took some time to look around the temple grounds.

We even found a cat in one of the little backstreets. 🐈😂

He told me that he loves taking photos,

and he had brought a cute little digital camera with him!

He took lots of photos of the traditional Japanese streets,

and while we were walking,

I kept wondering what kind of pictures he was taking. 📷

After that,
we walked a little farther
to enjoy a completely different side of Osaka!

Our next stop was an arcade in Dotonbori. 🎮

This arcade has such a lively,
almost festival-like atmosphere,

so it is really fun even just to walk around. 😂

We looked at the claw machines together
and talked about how difficult some of them looked,

and we even found a robot
that would not stop talking,
which made both of us laugh. 😂

I wanted to win some brown sugar fugashi
from one of the claw machines,

so I decided to give it a try.

But somehow,
the only things I managed to win were Umaibo snacks. 😂

Meanwhile,
he actually managed to win
the fugashi I wanted for me!

Thank you~! 😂

Then I found out that
he had also brought a film camera,

and he took some photos of me with it too. 📸

With a film camera,
you cannot see the photos right after taking them,

so you have to wait until the film is developed.

I think that is part of what makes film cameras so special. ☺️

I do not usually have my photo taken with a film camera,

so I might look a little awkward in them... 😂

But I think even that
will become part of the memory.

Finally,
it was time for the dinner！

He had booked an all-you-can-eat yakiniku restaurant for us. 🥩✨

As soon as we walked in,
I was surprised by how many choices there were! 😳

There were so many different dishes,
including rice dishes and desserts,

so of course I got really excited. 😂

He also drinks alcohol,

so we decided to get
the all-you-can-drink option together. 🍻

We could make our own drinks there,

so even that felt like
a little activity we could enjoy together.

While we were eating yakiniku,

I realized that he knew a lot about
how to grill each cut of meat properly.

He cooked everything really well for us,

and I was surprised by how much
the taste can change
depending on the cut and how you grill it!

I think I need to learn
how to grill yakiniku properly too. 😂

While we ate,
he told me about his life in Thailand
and about his work.

He also asked me a lot about myself,

so we were able to learn
so much about each other.

Because we come from different countries,

there were many moments when I thought,

“Wow, that is so different!”

Learning about those differences
was really interesting and fun. ☺️

And then,
at the end of dinner...

he gave me a beautiful bracelet as a present. 🤍

He even told me about
how he had chosen it,

and I could really tell that
he had spent time thinking about me
while picking it out.

That made me so happy. ☺️

I will treasure it.
Thank you so much! 🤍

I could also tell that
he had put a lot of thought into choosing the restaurant
because he wanted me to enjoy our time together.

That made me really happy too.

For me,
the fact that someone chooses
to spend part of their precious vacation time with me
already means so much.

That is why I always want to make our time together
fun enough for them to think,

“I’m really glad I met Koharu!” ☺️

This date reminded me of that again.

I hope our time together
became one of the special memories
from his trip to Japan. ✨

The date went by so quickly,

and when it was almost time to say goodbye,

I was already feeling a little sad that it was over...

But then,

he invited me to go to a collaboration café
with him the next day! 😳✨

I was so happy that
he wanted to spend another day with me.

I will write about our second date
in my next blog post too!

See you next time!
