We watch fireflies on the boat at Lake Aokiko.The trees over hanging the lake in summer provide a Christmas tree like setting.On clear nights you can enjoy star lights and fireflies both at the same time.With some imagination it looks like a Meteor Shower , the contest of the light between fireflies and stars.Registration by phone is 3,600 yen per person.
