Meeting Rio-san was something I didn’t expect, and the impression has stayed with me so clearly even after several days have passed.

I’m fully aware of the setting and the nature of the time we shared, but even with that understanding, the feeling I had came from my own honest reaction.

Whatever she did, however she carried herself, it naturally made those 120 minutes feel like seconds — and that ended up becoming one of the most memorable parts of my trip.

I'll be visiting Fukuoka again in mid-March, and I genuinely hope she will still be available for requesting a reservation. Even the possibility of meeting her again makes returning to Fukuoka feel worth it — and that comes from my straightforward personal impression.
