Attractions and Features
The Tsu-u-tsu Gawa River flows to Nakazato near the city boundary between Nagasaki City East and Isahaya city.In the summer, this is the most famous firefly spot in Nagasaki city.
This is the peak of the year from the middle of May to the beginning of June around 8:00 to 9:00 pm.
The recommended spot is near the bridge of the top picture.I think that I can find it from the vicinity of the bridge of the expressway toward the upstream.It is also possible to get down downstream, but you can enjoy it even from the bridge.Be careful with your feet.
