A fantastical tale of light begins at dusk. On clear days, this tour even includes stargazing! Japan's smallest fireflies live on Ishigaki Island. Be sure to see the natural illuminations of the Yaeyama fireflies. Their courtship behavior begins about 30 minutes after sunset, and they glow in a way that's different from other fireflies.
