These larvae will develop into pupae over the next few weeks, and are expected to make their first flight as adults in mid-May. The flight period as an adult is only 1 to 2 weeks. Please enjoy the fantastic dance of light soon. ◇Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo’s early summer tradition is the “Evening of Fireflies” that colors the night in the garden “Fireflies Evening” began in 1954 with the desire of Eiichi Ogawa, the founder of Fujita Kanko, to “show the children of Tokyo fireflies,” and this year marks its 71st year. Fireflies are generally associated with summer, but at our hotel they begin flying in mid-May, reach their peak in early June, and can be enjoyed until early July.

Improvements have been made to the quality and quantity of mineral-rich spring water from the Chichibu Mountains that flows underground through the garden. Currently, we carry out artificial rearing from spawning to final instar larvae in the garden and at our in-house rearing facility, and every winter we raise the larvae. is being released. l 2021 Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo’s Japan’s largest fog garden production “Tokyo Unkai” and fireflies will begin to perform together. ◇Types of fireflies and viewing period l Genji firefly: male body length approximately 1.5 cm, female body length approximately 2.0 cm l From late May to mid-June, you can enjoy the fireflies that have emerged in the garden around Hotaru Sawa, Furukai, and the waterwheel. l From late June to early July, you can enjoy fireflies raised with a delayed growth period in the garden and in the biotope (living space) where the temperature and humidity have been adjusted. ◇ Reasons to visit one of the best firefly viewing spots in Tokyo l About 10,000 larvae raised in the garden and at our own facilities are released into the garden stream. l The hatching rate of fireflies in nature is said to be approximately 1%, but we estimate that under artificial captivity at our hotel, where hygiene and feeding are stable, we have achieved a high hatching rate of approximately 30%*. Therefore, we estimate that approximately 8,000 Genji fireflies emerge in the garden, and approximately 10,000 Genji fireflies, including the release of adult fireflies that emerge from the breeding facility at Lake Nojiri from late June to July, and that at peak times, approximately 500 to 600 fireflies emerge per day, flying or perching on leaves.
