About this spot
Built to commemorate Chiaki Mukai, Japan's first female astronaut and a native of Tatebayashi, this children's science museum features experience-based exhibits centered on space and science. The museum is packed with child-friendly content including rocket and spacecraft models and space food displays. The main planetarium uses a large dome screen to showcase summer constellations and space imagery. Previewing the starry sky here before viewing tonight's fireworks will deepen your enjoyment. Spending time in the air-conditioned museum is also a precious respite during hot Tatebayashi summers.

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。
