Awaji Island Flowers & Nature

Awaji Island has a comfortable climate that is warm year-round and has little rain. Much of the nature is wild and untouched, and there are flowers and greenery throughout the island.

Nature in Spring

When spring arrives, life sprouts everywhere on the island. If you visit places famous for cherry blossoms, the soft sunlight reflecting off the cherry blossoms will engulf your heart.
The contrast of the green and yellow of the canola flowers are a cultural staple of spring since times of old.

They stay burrowed in the sand inside the sea during the day, and they become active at night. They give off a blue glow and provide a mystical sight. We also offer viewing sessions at night with the sea-fireflies.
