On Nabananosato days, you can see the mysterious light dance of about 1,000 fireflies a day on the approximately 200-meter-long ``Seseragi'' from the area in front of Nabana no Sato's ``Irimura Gate'' to ``Sato no Yu.'' Masu.

In the village, the lights around the 'Seseragi' where fireflies dance are dimmed,
A firefly performance that lets you enjoy the fantastic light will be held.
You can enjoy the perfect environment to watch fireflies flying around in the darkness.



The best time to see fireflies is from around 8pm when it gets dark!
Please feel free to come and visit us after dinner or on your way home from work.
We recommend cooling off at night while watching fireflies.



In addition, "Nabananosato" has free parking, restrooms,
Well-maintained sidewalks within the village, etc.
You can watch fireflies in a ``safe environment'', so
It is popular with families and couples, and is crowded with many visitors at night.

Additionally, there are 8 Japanese, Western, and Chinese restaurants within the village, including a local beer garden!



There is also a natural hot spring, so you can fully enjoy it even before the fireflies start flying.
