This enchanting forest in the Chūgoku region of Japan, is the home to gold fireflies that charm the area regularly. Magical.
“The long-exposure photos near the river were taken near Okayama City in the Hokubo area, and capture a certain type of firefly called the Genji Botaru. The photos in the woods were taken near Niimi City and the famous Tennoohachiman shrine and capture the Hime Botaru.” (x) by Tsuneaki Hiramatsu
“Ōkunoshima (大久野島) (…) is often called Usagi Shima, or Rabbit Island, because of the numerous wild rabbits that roam the island; they are rather tame and will approach humans.”

“Non-believers [are] the majority (63%), followed by Buddhists (26%), Shintoists (2%) and Christians (1%)” ~ Religion in Japan. Very interesting and not surprising that this point is not brought up more in the news.
