Summary
The Tsumagoi Festival closes the summer in this Gunma cabbage country on 1 August: the village primary school grounds open at 11:00 with a trout-catching contest, taiko drumming and the Shinshu Sanada matchlock team's demonstration, plus stalls selling local produce. The finale sends some 1,800 shells over the Agatsuma riverbed opposite the school from 19:30, with the crowd around 2,000 and Manza-Kazawagoe Station five minutes away.
Overview
Day and night run as one here — a village festival where the catch-your-own-trout contest and the matchlock smoke belong to the afternoon, and the river-crossing fireworks belong to the evening. Watching across the water from the school grounds gives the display a distinctive, intimate frame. Logistics are simple: free temporary parking totals 300 spaces across two lots, the station is five minutes on foot, and traffic controls apply only in the 19:20–20:30 window around the show. Bring spare shoes for the children before the contest, and keep coins ready for the cabbage stalls.
