Roadside Station Ryusei Kaikan
This is a roadside station where you will be able to enjoy the specialties and gourmet food of Chichibu. The Ryusei Kaikan linked to the roadside station has an exhibit on Ryusei Matsuri, a festival of traditional handmade rockets (referred to as “ryusei” in Japanese).
