A miracle of light in Yanbaru at night
Jinjin Observation Event - Let's go see the fireflies of Yanbaru -
The gentle light of fireflies quietly appears in the forests of Okinawa at night.
A moment enveloped in the flickering light, called "jinjin," is like a quiet story played by nature.
The sound of insects, the scent of plants, and the fantastic scenery - here you can find a healing time that you can't experience in the city.
Perfect for families with children and couples looking for a romantic time.

The fantastic dance of fireflies
The gentle "flickering" of light that you can only encounter in nature. It's a healing time that will soothe your mind.
It's a paved road, so it's easy to walk!
The observation paths are paved, so even small children and elderly people can participate safely.
Listen to the sounds of night creatures
Not only fireflies, but the sounds of various creatures echo through the forest at night.
This is a precious time to fully experience Okinawa's "night nature."
