A: Did you hear about Tsukiji? It's in the news!
B: No, what's happening there?
A: Apparently, it's getting *so* crowded in December!
B: Really? Why is that?
A: Because it's New Year’s season in Japan! People shop for food there.
B: Oh, I see! Locals buy New Year's treats!
A: Exactly! And tourists are also going, making it super packed.
B: So, what are they doing about it?
A: They're asking tour groups to *not* go in December.
B: Wow, that's a big request!
A: Yeah, they want to keep things safe for the shoppers.
B: Makes sense! It's like, respect the local customs.
A: Totally! Remember how Tsukiji became popular with tourists? It started because people were jetlagged and looking for something open early!
B: That’s funny! Now they’ll have to find somewhere else to get their sushi!
A: They can still go individually, but no big tour groups!
