About Uozu

Uozu is a city located in the eastern part of Toyama, Japan between Namerikawa and Kurobe, stretching from Toyama Bay and the Japan Sea in the northwest to tall mountain ranges in the southeast. Uozu is known for three mysterious phenomena, the (spring) mirage, the firefly squid, and the buried forest. The spring mirage for which Uozu is famous for may be seen on warm, sunny, windless days from April to June. The winter mirage seen from December to March results from a different process than the spring mirage and is common in many other parts of the world. In the early morning hours, from the end of March to the beginning of June, female firefly squid, or hotaruika, rise to the surface to spawn. Their name comes from a bluish white glow which emanates from various points on their bodies. 2000 years ago, a primeval sugi (Cryptomeria) forest along the coast was partially buried so that only the trunks were preserved. Trunks of such sugi trees are on display at Uozu's buried forest museum.
