Fireflies live in Kenrokuen, where the high-quality water for the Tatsumi Aqueduct flows into the garden, even though it is located in an urban area, due to its abundant nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u300cFirefly Viewing\u300d will be held on July 1 (Fri.), 2 (Sat.), 8 (Fri.), and 9 (Sat.).
Admission is free, so feel free to go and see them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At spots in the park where you can view fireflies, you can listen to commentary from an interpreter from the \u300cKanazawa Firefly Society\u300d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entry to the park is possible only from the \u300cLotus Pond Gate Exit\u300d and \u300cKodatsuno Exit\u300d (walking map).
Lighting is minimal so that fireflies can be seen clearly. Since it is dark around your feet, etc., follow the guidance and instructions of the staff and be careful not to leave the designated path. Also, flash is not allowed for photographing fireflies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
