初めてのひとり旅
My First Solo Trip
先週、私は初めて一人で京都へ旅行に行きました。いつもは友達や家族と行きますが、今回は自分の好きな場所だけに行きたかったからです。新幹線の中で駅弁を食べて、窓の外の景色を見ている時間はとても楽しかったです。
京都に着いてからは、バスを使っていろいろな神社に行きました。道に迷うこともありましたが、それもいい思い出です。夜は静かなカフェでゆっくり本を読みました。誰かと一緒の旅行も楽しいですが、一人旅は自分のペースで動けるので、とてもリラックスできました。また来年もどこかへ一人で行きたいと思っています。
Translation
Last week, I went on a trip to Kyoto alone for the first time. I usually go with friends or family, but this time I wanted to go only to places I like. The time spent eating a bento box on the Shinkansen and watching the scenery outside the window was very enjoyable. After arriving in Kyoto, I used the bus to visit various shrines. I got lost sometimes, but that is also a good memory. At night, I read a book slowly in a quiet cafe. Traveling with someone is fun, but a solo trip allowed me to move at my own pace, so I was able to relax a lot. I would like to go somewhere alone again next year.
