Tourist attraction • Hongokitakata, Miyazaki, 880-0925, Japan
The Yamasaki River, located in the quiet residential area of Miyazaki City, is like a remote stream. You can see many fireflies dancing in the unmanaged grassy riverside. Because it is a place of untouched nature far removed from the city, an environment where fireflies can grow naturally is preserved.
Walk along the riverside promenade and be enchanted by the fantastic light display of fireflies. After sunset, the shimmering lights of countless fireflies in the darkness resemble stars scattered in the air. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, while listening to the chirping of insects, you can enjoy an extraordinary time.
Furthermore, as you continue along the promenade, Miyazaki Airport spreads out before you. The sight of passenger planes flying in the sky and taking off and landing may unexpectedly overlap with the light of fireflies, creating a surprising spectacle. The contrast between the luxurious time in nature and the urban night sky accentuates the charm of this place.
The Yamasaki River, where fireflies dance, is the art of light created by Miyazaki's nature. It is like a summer night jewel box set amidst the cityscape. Take this rare opportunity to immerse yourself in this mysterious world view and bring back special memories.
