"Hello, everyone! This is Noriko from Nihongo Storytime. What are your hobbies, and what do you like to do in your free time?

Today, let's hear the story of Manabu, who works at a bank.

Hello, my name is Manabu. I'm 33 years old and currently single. I don't have a girlfriend right now. I'd like to find a new one, but my work keeps me quite busy, making it challenging to make time for dating. However, I enjoy putting effort into my job, and my private time is enjoyable, so it's okay. My hobbies are going to the sauna and camping.

I work at a bank. The job is tough, and there's a lot of stress. Sometimes, there's overtime too. But whenever I step into the sauna, no matter how tired I am, I feel revitalized. When I have time, I go to the sauna twice a week. When time is tight, I make it a point to go every Friday.

Every Friday is Sauna Day. No matter how busy work is, when Friday comes, I finish work and head to the sauna. I'm a member of a stylish, members-only sauna in Shibuya. The membership fee is high, but they have private sauna rooms, and I really like it.

I became friends with Yuuki, an interior designer I met at this members-only sauna. Yuuki is 32 years old. Although our careers are different, we both love camping. So, we often talk about camping together. Last weekend, we went camping for the first time at a campground with a view of Mount Fuji. Yuuki has a lot of experience with camping and knows about various camping gear. Talking about camping with Yuuki is always fun.

Today is Friday, so after work, I'm looking forward to going to the sauna and chatting with Yuuki about camping."
