It's almost June! In Shobara City, Hiroshima Prefecture, which is blessed with nature, you can ✨ see fireflies
At Hotarumi Park, Kuchiwa-cho, Shobara City, Hiroshima Prefecture, many visitors gather every year. Fireflies fly from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., peaking for 30 minutes from 9 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
It seems that there is a point where Genji fireflies occur 300 meters downstream from Hotarumi Park! This year's Best time to visit may be later than every year, partly because the cherry blossoms bloomed late. That's what I expected.
There is a campsite in Hotarumi Park, and around July, you can see fireflies! The fireflies glow quieter than the Genji fireflies, and those who have been to Hotarumi Park for camping have seen many fireflies gathering in front of the tent! It seems that you are having a valuable experience!
Hotarumi Park has few electric lights and is quite suitable as a place to observe fireflies.
At the "Firefly Viewing Party" to be held on Saturday, June 21st, all the lights of the administration building and campsite will be turned off for 1 minute from 9 p.m., and you will be able to enjoy only the light of the fireflies! I have no choice but to go...!
Kitchen Car and Stalls will also be lined up ✨ on the day
