Awaji Island Sea Firefly Watching Tour: Experience the Magical Blue Light

Michinoeki Awaji

A top scenic destination situated directly under the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, recognized as the longest suspension bridge globally. Guests can marvel at the remarkable transformation of the bridge as it illuminates from sunset into a captivating evening display.

Awaji Chef's Garden by PASONA

An energetic outdoor dining complex by the seaside, showcasing a series of vibrant shipping containers. Offering a diverse selection of esteemed eateries that include Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisines, it is an ideal spot to enjoy dinner while listening to the gentle sounds of the waves.

Sea Firefly Show

Experience the "Jewels of the Sea," also known as Sea Fireflies (Umihotaru). The enchanting sight of their ethereal blue glow shimmering along the beach is a unique and stunning experience that can only be found in a few select areas.
