How to enjoy the rainy season ....

Hi ! This is Ena from Hiroshima Hana Hostel.

It is in the middle of the rainy season in Hiroshima.
Except for Hokkaido and the Ogasawara islands in the far south, the entire country has rainy season in June and July.

I do not like the humid air very much but I like June even such a gloomy whether .

This month  I went to some rivers many time to see fireflies.

Fireflies are  a common  feature in the summer in Japan.
Since they live ONLY in super clear rivers,
we need to go to a very very quiet and dark area to see them.

It was absolutely amazing view with heaps of fireflies.
I felt like watching many small stars scattered in the night sky.
I was so happy to see them many time this year.


Summer is coming soon......

If you go to the Syukkei-en Japanese Garden (About 15min walk from Hiroshima Hana),you can see some seasonal flowers.
