Best firefly festival in Honshu 2024/4/12 21:27
Hi All,

I'm planning for my summer trip. Is this possible that you recommend me a firefly festival in Honshu? I would prefer somewhere with big number of fireflies yet friendly with those who can only go with public transportation, and festival time around 20 Jun.
As I check by myself, Tatsuno Hotaru Festival (辰野ほたる祭り) in Nagano seems to be the biggest one; however it ends on 16 Jun 2024. I can still make it but it's a bit hectic for me since I arrive in Tokyo in late 15 Jun.
One more question - will the number of fireflies do affect the viewing experience? Or I'll feel good anyway :)

Thanks in advance for your kind comments.

I haven't been there yet, but I'd like to go to the garden of Chinzan-so.
This hotel is also famous for its fireflies.
But you need to use restaurants and so on.

I think you can also see it at this Japanese restaurant that has decided to close next year.

In addition to these two places, this article also introduces "Nagusa Firefly Festival" in Tochigi and Tsukiyono in Gunma.
