Hotaru-bashi (Firefly Bridge) is an emotional, beautiful bridge standing in a place surrounded by the rich greenery and pure mountain streams of Karatsu City. True to its name, in early summer, countless wild "fireflies" releasing gentle light dance around in the beautiful darkness of the night, giving visiting travelers a fantastic, deep emotion as if wandered into a fantasy world along with the pleasant murmur of pure water. In this place completely cut off from the digital busyness and noises of modern cities, spending time quietly watching the art of light while feeling the cool night breeze gently melts away mind-body stress. It is an exceptional healing spot to experience the delicate life mysteries of great nature with all five senses.
