Bio-Luminescent Shrimp Makes These Rocks Look Like They Are Bleeding Blue
Off the coast of Okayama, Japan are boulders that turn electric blue at night. At first glance, it looks something from a sci-fi movie. When you look closer, you’ll notice the patterns of the blue streaks are just like tears streaming down, which make the rocks look like they are weeping or bleeding.

Note: The following information is what I gathered from a roughly translated website. Corrections and/or better translations are welcome. Please email them to OkiNinjaKitty@yahoo.com and I will update the description below. Thank you for your understanding.
Shiokawa is a small river in the Motobu area of Okinawa, Japan. It was named a natural monument in 1972.
The area is significant for a few reasons to include the salt content as well as a special species of seaweed which inhabit this river. The area was considered important to the wetlands as well. NEW WEBSITE:

Japan Trip: Twinkling Stars, Ships, and Sea FireFlies on Awashima Island, Miyota City, Kagawa Prefecture, Shikoku
【★039★Kagawa Awashima Island】
Subscribe link :
Located in the center of Seto Inland Sea off the coast of Kagawa Prefecture, Shikoku is Awashima Island. Due to its position in the sea, Awashima was an important port for the Shiwaku Navy, an organization of highly skilled Japanese sailors which controlled this region of the Seto Inland Sea.
In 1897, the Meiji Government opened the National Sailor School on Awashima Island. Many skilled graduates went on to work on important ships such as the Kanrin Maru, the first Japanese ship to cross the Pacific Ocean. Though the school closed in 1987 and was transformed into the Awashima Marine Memorial Park, the schoolhouse has been preserved and visitors can view maritime artifacts here.
National Sailor School
Hours: 9:00 to 16:00

This star shaped island is truly a beautiful place. Jonoyama Viewpoint offers breathtaking views over the island. And for visitors fortunate to be here at night, a clear star studded sky, unobstructed by tall buildings or pollution can be seen. Looking onto the sea, visitors can see the flickering lights of the sea cruisers and perhaps even towns on nearby islands. But, visitors who visit Awashima from the end of May to the beginning of October may experience the star-like, blue lights that emerge from the sea fireflies (bioluminescent crustaceans) swimming in the waters of the island’s beaches. The best time to view these twinkle stars of the sea is the beginning of autumn.
Awashima is one of the venues of the Setouchi Triennale, a contemporary art festival with multiple venues among the Seto Inland Sea. At the time of festival in autumn 2013, a dozen or so pieces were displayed throughout the island. However, now only has a permanent home here. The art piece is located inside the old marine naval school.
