When the GW dawns, it's almost time for a rainy season. The rainy season, which affects the autumn harvest, has been welcomed since ancient times, but it is also true that it is difficult to spend the time when the temperature and humidity are high. However, with the special events unique to this season, the Japanese people have been healed. The event is a firefly hunting. The light of the firefly that flies in the waterside at dusk is felt like an illusion of the time when summer was brought up and attracted people.
Recently, there are more places where firefly can be seen, and firefly hunting is held in various places, but most of them just stand and appreciate.
