You can see dream fireflies growing in the streams created by people's passionate efforts to revive the Heike fireflies at Tokachigawa Onsen, the first place in Japan where 100% hot spring water is used. It is said that the Yume Fireflies grown in the excellent quality of the mall hot spring water have a longer luminescence period than other Heike Fireflies.
