Description
A tour where you can enjoy the best starry sky in Japan and be surrounded by firefly lights 360 degrees around! A beautiful world of light created by the Yaeyama Hime fireflies and a starry sky spreading across the night sky! Come and see the seasonal natural illumination show! The main thing you can observe is the Yaeyama Hime firefly. The way they blink is different from the fireflies seen in Honshu. Fireflies actually light up to mate. When they fly off all at once as if they had arranged it, they are surrounded by fireflies and are enveloped in their lights. The viewing spot is in the mountains, a 20-minute drive from the city. This is a spot that both serious photographers and first-time firefly viewers can enjoy. ◆Firefly peak guideline Early March - 10-20% Mid-March to early April - 30-70% Mid-April to early May - 70-100% After mid-May - Gradually decreasing. After watching the fireflies, if the weather is good, make a little detour before heading home. Come see the starry sky in Yaeyama, one of Japan's leading stargazing spots!
