firefly known as the Genji-botaru and they remain at the top of many of

Japan's No. 1 firefly can be viewed throughout the summer holiday

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.)
