Lesson 139 It must be Mr. Aoki
山から戻ってきたデービッドは、洋子に里山渓谷の再開発について聞いています。
Let’s listen to today’s story.
Yoko: The town hotel will be reopened?
David: And there are plans to develop something at Satoyama Ravine.
Yoko: I haven’t heard anything. But if anyone came up with such an idea, it must be Mr. Aoki. Naoki might know more.
David: OK, I’ll talk to him.
Yoko: By the way, we got a lot of customers who decided to stay here after seeing your pictures on our website. Times have really changed.
David: I hope my pictures continue to revive Hanasato Ryokan.
Yoko: Me too, David. Could you keep taking pictures that make people want to stay here?
David: Sure. No problem.
This will no longer exist in a few years
