Has anyone been watching fireflies right now around kyoto city? I read online and most blogs said they last until mid June, but I hope I'm still not late. Any location recommendations, and around what time do they start becoming visible?

I saw plenty, but none since last week.
The Uji botanical gardens has their firefly festival from late May until mid-June. So probably late for them by now.
It’s going to be tricky. We would see the rare occasional one along the Kamo river a couple weeks ago. I saw the most around the river in Arashiyama last week by[ 河川広場 park](https://www.google.com/maps/place/%E6%B2%B3%E5%B7%9D%E5%BA%83%E5%A0%B4/@35.0121205,135.6813697,3a,75y,300.87h,79.59t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1sCIHM0ogKEICAgIDX19Cr9QE!2e10!3e11!6shttps:%2F%2Flh3.googleusercontent.com%2Fgpms-cs-s%2FAB8u6HabVJywAQJJw5eHKCs2uYTk5sNM6aMTR8EWO9wZJfNDN0P7XnS_fWQOq74obF1l5NJF0yy9sla6LmkDpvtokkDmFMM2IoxRiv8gy26tOTGW0dRYbMmaUqgABDdtU_kLbkZpblgtjw%3Dw900-h600-k-no-pi10.414900904020385-ya31.36445315362272-ro0-fo100!7i7680!8i3840!4m6!3m5!1s0x600107dbc9482f31:0x667c346f38670050!8m2!3d35.0116994!4d135.6816288!16s%2Fg%2F11thhgfgmv?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDYyMi4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D), but they’re certainly tapering off for the season. I’m hoping you get to see em.
