Yomiuri Land amusement park has been breeding and raising fireflies to help conserve the species since 2009. This summer you’ll see some of its genji botaru and heike botaru fireflies roam around the beautiful Hana Biyori garden in the evening from June 2 to July 2.
There will also be some kid-friendly activities including a workshop where you get to create wish slips to celebrate the Tanabata festival, as well as an informative talk session where you can learn more about the wonderful fireflies.
Hana Biyori is open from 10am, but the firefllies viewing time is from 7.45pm until 9pm.
