Olivia here,
I am sharing with you something that I have done before, and has been on my “have to do” list while I am in Kumamoto.
I love watching the fireflies in Ezuko. Has anyone done it this year? We almost reach mid June, and apparently, due to their short lifetime, fireflies in Ezuko will only be around until end of June (forgive me if I am wrong. The amount of fireflies you see might differ every year.)
Hopefully, if anyone has time to visit Ezuko soon, they will see fireflies there.
I learned from Ezuko’s website, few things to take note for “Fireflies Watching”
(in Japanese): ◎一般的にホタルをよく観察できるといわれている条件 ・雨が降っておらず、風が弱い ・湿度が高く、気温が高い ・月明かりがない
(in English)
- When we have no rains for the day.
- When humidity and day temperature are high.
- When there is no moonlight.
