Kase River Firefly Festival — location in 佐賀県, Saga City

佐賀県 · Saga City

33.2880°N, 130.4100°E

The Kase River and its tributaries in the southern Saga mountains host one of Kyushu's most concentrated firefly populations — the combination of clean water, low agricultural chemical use, and dense riparian vegetation has maintained conditions for Genji-botaru (the large Japanese firefly) that have disappeared from most of Japan. The firefly season runs June 1–20, and the peak nights (June 8–12 in an average year) see thousands of simultaneous light signals over the river.

インサイダーガイド

**Peak timing:** Fireflies appear from 19:45 and reach maximum density around 20:30–21:30. The first 15 minutes after the first visible firefly are the most exciting — the emergence is rapid. **Photography:** Long exposure (30 seconds, f/2.8, ISO 800) captures the light trails without needing the fireflies to be stationary. Keep your position upwind of the river — the fireflies move toward their scent-based partners, and positioning accordingly improves density in frame.
