Firefly watching (Hotaru)
In the Japanese countryside, there is a captivating scene where an enchanting symbol shines on summer nights. That symbol is the firefly. Fireflies are beautiful creatures deeply rooted in Japan's natural environment, possessing their own unique charm. Their light creates a fantastical atmosphere, as if tiny sources of light have descended upon the earth, giving a sensation akin to being within a dream.

【Fireworks】 Kurose Summer Festival
Many people were gathered for the Kurose Summer Festival this year.
The Kurose Summer Festival was packed full of entertainment, food, and fireworks by the river. It was my first ever summer festival in Japan and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I came in a yukata (Japanese summer kimono) courtesy of my host mother who helped me put it on and I was glad to see so many people dressed in yukata too!
