'19 Kamakura Solo Trip | hotel aiaoi and Temple Hopping
On Christmas Eve in 2019, I headed to Kamakura. It was a trip to stay at an inn I had been dying to visit, "hotel aiaoi."
With the Enoden train running right in front of us
making fluffy TKG (egg over rice) 🥚🍚🥢
The round window was truly wonderful, and with few people around,
I was able to stay there for a while.
The Kamakura branch of a very popular cafe in Nagoya!
I fatefully ended up at a rescue cat cafe.
Little did I know that three months later,
I would meet a rescue cat named Kurozu-kun in Nagoya
and end up living together.
at aiaoi, relaxing.
Simple, yet with a gentle charm.
I feel like this was the first time I ever took a trip just to fulfill myself. It wasn't about checking off tasks, but a trip where I could let myself do what I wanted, following the direction of my heart.
It was also fateful that I had a gap in my afternoon and was guided to go meet those rescue cats. While it wasn't a direct connection, three months later, I would meet a black cat named Kurozu-kun at a rescue cat cafe in Nagoya.
The encounter with Kurozu-kun, who trotted up to my lap and fell asleep on his back. Looking back now, it feels so inevitable; he is my beloved, beloved family. I think that every little event leads to the choices we make in the future. 😌✨
Thank you so much for reading until the end!
