Yaeyama Hime firefly is famous as the smallest firefly in Japan. The light is gentle and powerful and has fascinated many people. Yaeyama Hime firefly is active only at dusk, so you only have a chance to meet for about an hour a day. Let's take a peek into the fantastic world! !!
From March 2023, Ishigakijima ADVENTURE PiPi will change the wearing of masks to "optional" and implement flexible infection prevention measures! A special trip, a special memory, a photo without a mask. Some people need masks, such as hay fever. Let's get along and respect each other, both those who wear them and those who don't.
