All fireflies in Fukumaki are wild. If you witness the grand feast of light created by approximately 20,000 Himebotaru fireflies inhabiting this area and Genji fireflies gracefully dancing over the river, the fireflies of Fukumaki might bring you happiness.

Kyukamura Okudaisen (Location: Kofu Town, Hino District, Tottori Prefecture; Manager: Ken Kawashima), a highland resort hotel at the foot of Mt. Karasugasen, south of Tottori Prefecture's famous Mt. Daisen, will begin selling its annually popular "Hinomachi Fukumaki Firefly Country Walking Tour" from June 28 (Sunday).

◆Fukumaki Firefly Country: One of Japan's Foremost Scenic Spots

Hinomachi, Tottori Prefecture, has a place name called "Fukumaki," which literally means "ten thousand fortunes come." Just visiting this place name seems to bring a happy feeling.

Fukumaki is a rare firefly viewing spot in Japan where both Himebotaru and Genji fireflies can be seen simultaneously and in large numbers. The viewing spots for Himebotaru, which glow in the forest, and Genji fireflies, which dance wildly over the river, are facing each other, and once every few years, the peaks of both fireflies coincide. Its overwhelming, breathtaking scale and indescribable beauty are no exaggeration to call it the best in Japan.
