Overview
Daniel drove with his girlfriend from Tokyo to Nagano Prefecture, waiting at a McDonald's while she took her nine-year-old daughter to juku classes.
Despite feeling anxious beforehand about lacking experience with children, Daniel found his first meeting and dinner with the daughter went smoothly, connecting with her through humor, though he noted his girlfriend seemed irritable and tense around her.
After checking into a compact hotel room, Daniel appreciated Nagano's open mountain scenery over claustrophobic high-rise cities, dismissed online criticism about his maturity and dating choices, and scheduled an early bullet train trip to visit a friend.
