Summer brings out the fireflies in Tokyo and from May 24-July 18 you can bask in the their lovely glow while dining on the grounds of Chinzan-so, a sprawling historic garden in central Tokyo. Hotaru no yube (“firefly nights”) have been held annually on the grounds since 1954.
Three different menus are offered:
If you come in a yukata (summer kimono) you will receive a special gift. Reservations are recommended as this event is quite popular, call (03) 3943-1140 for the buffet, or (03) 3943-1101. Chinzan-so is a ten minute walk from the Edogawabashi Station (website & directions).
