Tatebayashi, Castle town in eastern Gunma Prefecture, Japan
Tatebayashi spans 61 square kilometers between the Watarase River and Tone River, approximately 60 kilometers north of Tokyo in the Kanto region.
The city developed from a 15th-century castle established by the Akai clan, later reinforced under Sakakibara Yasumasa following Tokugawa Ieyasu's victories.
The Gunma Museum of Art displays modern sculptures and maintains a pathway with 40 artworks through a pine forest near the museum.
Visitors can reach Tatebayashi via the Tobu Isesaki line express train Ryomo from Asakusa station in Tokyo, with a journey time of one hour.
The city holds the world record for displaying 5,000 carp-shaped streamers during its Village Festival from March through May.
