The Different Blue Tears: Japan’s Firefly Squid Season Has Arrived
By MOOK Scenic Spots Family Travel Life Network Editorial Team
Whenever the blue tears of Matsu occur, the waves crash against the shore emitting a faint blue glow — a dreamlike scene that is one of the most unmissable sights of Taiwan’s spring and summer seasons. The same season brings a similarly magical spectacle to the shores of Suruga Bay in Japan, but here the blue light is not caused by blue tears — it’s created by countless glowing firefly squid gathering together.
