Spend a Peaceful Afternoon by the Water and Grass of Lake Shono, Starting the Fireworks Festival Day
About this spot
A park built on the site of the former Tatebayashi Castle, located in the center of Tatebayashi City. The expansive grassy area facing Lake Shono is a place where young children can freely run about, and you can relax in the shade under trees. Lake Shono is a nature-rich lake with a 4km circumference, and simply strolling while viewing waterfowl and distant greenery is a pleasant experience. Tatebayashi is known as one of Japan's hottest towns, but the waterside of the lake is slightly cooler, making it an ideal rest stop during a summer afternoon. On fireworks festival day, congestion begins in the evening, so spending this time relaxing in the cool shade is a wise choice.

千代田町川せがき花火大会は、利根川河畔の赤岩渡船場付近を会場に毎年開催される、約6,280発を誇る群馬県有数の花火大会です。「川せがき」とは川で亡くなった霊を弔う仏教行事に由来し、伝統と祈りを背景に持つ格式ある大会です。利根川の広大な川幅を舞台に打ち上がる花火は、遮るものがなく空と川の両方に広がる圧巻のスケールで、川面に映る光の帯も見事です。大玉の連続打ちやスターマインなど多彩なプログラムが川の夜空を埋め尽くし、爆音が体に響く迫力は平野の大河ならではの醍醐味です。夏の夜、家族みんなで川風を感じながら見上げるフィナーレの大連発は、きっと忘れられない夏の記憶になります。
