Hotaru or in English, firefly, are beloved in Japan. Often part of Japanese poems, songs, and stories they are unfortunately on their way to extinction due to the overzealous use of pesticides. Japanese streams are too often contaminated with pollutants, killing Hotaru and making them more and more difficult to find.

Luckily for us, there are still remote places in Japan that will give you the chance to experience the century-old “Hotaru-giri” or Hotaru viewing in summer-like at Nasu Fishland in Tochigi.

Each summer for around ten consecutive nights, rain, or shine, from 7:30 to 8:30 you will be able to enjoy a unique sight of natural Hotaru flying around in an effort to find partners to reproduce.

Note: Video shot at a 2fps VFR conformed at 24fps, at ½ Shutter speed, ISO 12,800, at F1.7 and slowed down to help see Hotaru’s light trail.
