Conversation: Osaka City to suspend accepting applications to operate private lodging NHK

A: Hey there! Guess what? Osaka's mayor just announced something interesting.

B: Really? What is it?

A: Well, he wants to stop accepting applications for private lodging places in certain zones of the city. You know, those popular spots for tourists.

B: Why is that? I thought more lodgings would be good!

B: So, when does this start?

A: They'll decide soon before a meeting with the central government in November. For now, let's enjoy Osaka as it is!
