Firefly season has arrived again this year. Kikuchi City is a famous landmarks for fireflies called "No.1 in Japan's best firefly village". It can be seen in the Oyster River and Watase River basins in the Kyokushi district of Kikuchi City. The number of places where you can see fireflies in Japan is decreasing year by year. Fireflies can live not only in places where water is clean. The calmness of the water current, the presence of sand or leki (particles larger than sand) at the bottom of the water, the surrounding light, the surrounding quietness, habitats such as Kawanina. Favorite such a limited place. As global environmental problems become more serious, the number of places where fireflies can live is decreasing. Meanwhile, you can see Many fireflies in Kikuchi City. Fireflies grow in the larval stage, storing food in water for one year. Then it becomes a sanagi and becomes an adult.
