　From June 3rd to 9th, the annual "Genji Firefly Appreciation Party" is being held at the special venue on the 2nd floor of Soke Genkichichoan Ginza Main Store (Ginza 7). (18: 00-21: 00) It started in 2004 as an event reminiscent of Ginza during the Edo period, which is said to have many waterways and many fireflies flying over willows in early summer, and this year marks the 16th anniversary.

Approximately 600 Genji fireflies, which were raised by bringing eggs born during last year's viewing period back to Okayama, where the group headquarters is located, are exposed to a gauge that imitates the waterside space installed on the walls and ceilings of the shielded venue, flashing faint light. It is about one year for fireflies to become adults, and the lifespan of adults is 10 days to 2 weeks, and it is a fantastic world of ephemeral life.

A cold lemon drink is served at the exit of the venue. Japanese sweets related to fireflies "Ginza Fireflies" Sandan Shigeben "When fireflies dance" are sold for a limited time, and it is a week of fireflies. The ornamental "crafted confectionery" (top / upper left image) made of ingredients such as rice cake flour and syrup with the motif of fireflies displayed on the 1st floor is expressed in detail in detail and is fascinated by craftsmanship.
