Season for fire flies (End of May to Middle of June)

Spring has come and passing by pretty quick, and horrible rainy season is coming soon.
However, we have exciting fire flies season before rainy season hit in our town.

A fire fly as know as "Hotaru (蛍：ホタル)" in Japanese. It is an insect which lit light on its lower part of body. They lit light from their　form of larva.

Date and Time may be various by the location's temperature and the environment.

In Mimasaka area and shoo area is quite same, the last week of May to around 10th of June is the most time you can see fire flies very well.

I'll leave the list of place you can see them well as below.
Please mind that to keep site clean for future, do not make much noise, turn off your car light, no camera Flash. Respect others and local people who live there.

There are many places actually you can see them but I just leave TOP 3 site from each area.
