I went on a real-life date with two friends I met on note 💗 [Update included]

Noko-san contacted me at the end of February to say she was coming to Tokyo. She was going to visit her son who lives near Tokyo (I'll just introduce him as that for now (´∀｀*)hehe) (it seems her kind son bought her a plane ticket as a Mother's Day gift), and by the end of February, the flight times were already set, so she reached out to ask, "Could we meet up?"

Noko-san and I had tried to coordinate a meeting when I traveled to Nagasaki before, but we couldn't make it happen.

Of course, I wanted to meet her! So the date was set (⋈◍＞◡＜◍).✧♡
At first, there was talk of her coming to Gunma, but since a round trip from Tokyo to Gunma just for the day would take up so much time, we decided to meet in Tokyo.

Around that time, Noko-san had posted a "Happy Birthday" article for chiyo-chan,

and around the same time, chiyo-chan had also posted on note about her date with Blue hand-chan,

and since I had visited chiyo-chan's home and met her once last November,

I suggested, "Why don't we invite chiyo-chan too?" When I asked chiyo-chan about her Golden Week plans, she said May 3rd was fine, so,

to my surprise,
a date for the three of us was set to happen
＼(^_^)／

Once March arrived, we created a group LINE titled "Looking forward to GW🎵" and started sharing information.

Since Noko-san was arriving at Haneda, Asakusa is close even if she comes by train, and it's easy for me and chiyo-chan to get to as well, so we decided on "Asakusa"!(^^)!

We wanted to walk around and eat, but since it's Asakusa in the middle of Golden Week, to avoid becoming "lunch refugees," we decided to pick a lunch spot first (typical of us lol),
and I suggested "one of the famous restaurants representing Asakusa."

https://bimi.jorudan.co.jp/topics/63914.html

From that list, we chose the cafe lounge on the 1st floor of the "Asakusa View Hotel."
"THE LOUNGE"

As mature women (lol), we decided to have lunch in a calm place, so we settled on the one below!

I made a reservation🎵

From there, it was a countdown to the day, feeling nervous and excited while coordinating train times and such(*^^)v

"3 weeks until the date"...(*^^)v
"1 week until the date"...(^^♪
we exchanged messages on LINE

and May 3rd arrived(^^)/

Wow, we had such a
fun time leading up to the date
that it ended up
being a long story.

Yes, the date itself starts from here💕

Friday, May 3rd
I took the Ryomo limited express train and headed to Tokyo (*^-^*)

Keiko and chiyo-chan met up with me at Asakusa Station.

While I was having coffee ☕ at a 'Doutor' near where I thought Noko-san would get off the train, she appeared right away (´∀｀*) hehe.
She had sent me a photo of the skirt she was wearing today, so I recognized her immediately.

Even though it was our first time meeting, our conversation didn't stop from the moment we met (lol), we talked there for a while, and then headed straight to Kaminarimon.

Kaminarimon was packed with many foreign tourists, it was just so crowded 💦💦

We walked around Kaminarimon for a bit, and then it was time for lunch (´∀｀*) hehe

This is what I ate❗
My photo is terrible though... 💦💦

The fried rice in front is chiyo-chan's.
(Correction: It wasn't fried rice, it was shrimp pilaf 💦 (lol))

In the relaxed 'THE LOUNGE', our conversation just wouldn't stop... (lol)

Since there were many people waiting, we left (lol)

Off to explore again 💗

Carp streamers against the blue sky, it really feels like 'The Japan' ✨

chiyo-chan brought a smartphone stick (selfie stick?) and took many photos of the three of us. Thank you, chiyo-chan 💕
Can you tell who is who? ( *´艸｀)

When we drew omikuji fortunes,
to my surprise, Noko-san and chiyo-chan got 'bad luck' (kyo), and I got 'small luck' (suekichi).
But even suekichi is pretty much the same as bad luck 💦💦

But we forgot about it right away (lol), and went back to exploring ☆彡

We said we wanted to try eating our way through the street, but we had already eaten snacks at the first 'Doutor' (lol), and we were so full from lunch that we couldn't do it...
We were thirsty too, so we went to a cafe again (lol)

I had ice cream, Noko-san had cheesecake, and chiyo-chan had cream anmitsu.

We chatted here until the very last minute too (^o^)v

At Asakusa Station, Noko-san's son and grandchild came to pick her up.
Since we were short on time, we only had a moment to greet them, but he seemed like a kind son.
He was even kind enough to offer to pick her up at the airport.
In the end, because the grandchild wasn't feeling well, Noko-san decided to take the train, but chiyo-chan and I were talking about how kind he was,
'That would never happen in our families~ (lol)'

chiyo-chan always looked up the routes for us, and she was truly reliable.
She's the youngest and most active of the three of us 🎵👏👏👏
Thank you so much for accepting my invitation for this date~ 💛
And thank you for preparing the smartphone stick (selfie stick?)~ 💗

And Noko-san, thank you so much for coming all this way to meet me～🎵
I could really feel your kindness～💗

We still had so much more to talk about...
We talked about how next time we want to go to chiyoy-chan's mansion, which is like a model room, and someday we also want to go on an overnight hot spring trip in Gunma (Ikaho? Kusatsu?).

Although we couldn't meet Yuzu-chan, who is a mutual friend of the three of us, this time, I will believe that a day will come when the four of us can meet, and I will look forward to it (#^.^#)

There are still many other note users I want to meet (´∀｀*)ufufu
If there is an opportunity, let's go on a date together💕

[Update]

Chiyo-chan also posted about it❗
Thank you as always😆💕✨
I look forward to working with you in the future too☺️

[Finally]

Although it will be on Zoom, we are planning to hold a chat session at the 'Dream💗 Consultation Room' in June.
It was scheduled for May, but it didn't work out for all the counselors, so for now, we are planning to postpone it to June☆彡

The counselors are the following three people.
The three of us talk on Zoom and LINE calls, but we haven't met in person yet💦

I really want to meet them this year～💗

Well then, when the announcement article for the chat session is out, please feel free to join us.
We are waiting for you(⋈◍＞◡＜◍)。✧♡

I wonder how many I can post during May💦💦

I'll keep doing my best in a relaxed and easygoing way (^^)/
