The “Agano District Firefly Regeneration Project” in Hanno City, Saitama Prefecture, and the “Let’s Name a Firefly Campaign” will be held at the Holiday Village Okumusashi from June 4th. The resort hotel “Kyuka Mura Oku-Musashi” (located in Hanno City, Saitama Prefecture, General Manager: Yasuhiro Arai), located in Hanno City, Saitama Prefecture, is trying to bring back fireflies that completely disappeared due to the effects of Typhoon Hagibis in 2019, which caused damage nationwide.

As the second initiative, we will start the “Name a Firefly” campaign on Wednesday, June 4th.
