The area near the summit of Mt. Orizume has abundant spring water and a Quercus oak forest, making it one of the largest habitats for fireflies in Japan. In 2018, it was designated as a natural monument by Iwate Prefecture as the ``Himefirefly Habitat of Mt. Orizume.'' Enjoy the magical dance of light as the 1 million Himebotaru fireflies flicker and sparkle.
