Genji Firefly Viewing Tour
It is still possible to see the Genji-botaru fireflies of which we Japanese are so proud even in this day and age

These fireflies, found only in Shiga Kogen, are a very rare species of firefly known as the Genji-botaru and they remain at the top of many of Japan's ranking lists, as follows:

Japan's No. 1 firefly can be viewed throughout the summer holiday season. The hotel, of course, operates tours to visit these creatures, providing valuable information on their ecosystems. This is a perfect topic for children to use for their summer project homework. Our more senior guests can spend an enjoyable time nostalgically looking back on the time when fireflies could be seen in great quantities.
The fee for the tour is only \315 per person (tax included), so why not make a reservation now?
(The fireflies can be viewed up until approximately August 20.)
Tour of Shibu-Onsen Open-air Baths
How about a tour of the nine Open-air Baths, all of which have their own individual characteristics and interests? Collect a stamp on your hand towel for each of the baths you bathe in to prove that you have been there. Having entered all of the baths, the tour will culminate with a pilgrimage to Koyakushi, which is reached by climbing the steps located in front of Ooyu. All of your wishes are sure to be granted. |
