A: Hey there, Katsu-chan! Did you read the article about Japan recently?
B: Nope, haven't had time. What's up?

A: It's about these hidden gems called "sho-Kyoto", or little Kyotos! You know how we always love Kyoto for its beauty but hate the crowd? Well, sho-Kyoto is like mini Kyotos with fewer people!
B: Oh, that sounds interesting! Where's this Shuzenji place they talked about?

A: It's in Izu City, southwest of Tokyo. You can get there by train or Shinkansen. They said it has onsen and beautiful bridges like the one in Arashiyama.
B: That sounds cool! We should check it out sometime! Did they say anything about what we'd see there?

A: Yeah, they mentioned a bamboo path called Chikurin no Komichi, which sounds really peaceful. Unfortunately, we wouldn't have enough time to visit the temple or soak in the hot springs on that day. But it seems like it would be a great place for an overnight stay if we ever plan a trip there!
B: That does sound nice and relaxing. Let's put it on our travel list, then! Thanks for sharing this article with me, Aya-chan.

A: You're welcome, Katsu-chan! I think sho-Kyoto would be a great way to experience traditional Japan without the huge crowds. I'm glad you're interested too!
