# Notice of Cancellation of This Year's Firefly Tour

Thank you very much for your continued patronage of Washinmura.

![Image 3: Section image](https://custom-images.strikinglycdn.com/res/hrscywv4p/image/upload/c_limit,fl_lossy,h_9000,w_1200,f_auto,q_1/4291621/896251_761085.png)

We regret to inform you that we have decided to end this year's firefly tour.

Due to climate change this year, the population of fireflies has significantly decreased compared to previous years. Usually, fireflies could be seen flying until around mid-July, but this year, the numbers have already dropped significantly, and their light has become weaker.

Therefore, as it has become difficult to provide our guests with a satisfactory viewing experience, we have selfishly decided to end the tour earlier than usual this year.

We deeply apologize to the guests who were looking forward to it, and we kindly ask for your understanding and cooperation.
