Fireflies

Last weekend, I went to see fireflies at Chinzan-so hotel.

Fireflies can not be seen naturally in central Tokyo, because there are few rivers with nature essential for fireflies to grow.

I had never seen fireflies when I was a child, and I had only seen them in Kyoto where I went to a graduate school.

I have never forgotten the mysterious light, beauty of fireflies.

So, I wanted to show them to Lu this year!

I researched and went to know that we could see fireflies in the garden of Chinzan-so.

 

I was very worried if I could see fireflies while the drizzle was falling, but the faint light of the fireflies all over there!

Lu pointed fireflies with her finger, and cheered up watching fireflies fly.

It was a very mysterious scene.

In Japan, Fireflies are looked as very mysterious insects because of its lights, and characteristic of early summer..

There is also a famous nursery rhyme.
