Battle of Sekigahara
Battle of Sekigahara
While a site of major significance to the Japanese that draws a steady stream of history buffs and school groups, foreign visitors are rare and information in English is generally minimal. A solid grasp of Japanese and/or a local guide will come in handy here.
Folk History Museum (歴史民俗資料館 Rekishi minzoku shiryōkan). Despite the rather misleading name, this museum concentrates mostly on the famous battle, charting the course of events with informative maps and interactive exhibits. Little information in English though. Admission �310, 5 minutes on foot from the train station.
Field Camp Ground (床几場 Shōgijō). Just across the road from the museum, this is the spot where Tokugawa Ieyasu held a council meeting after the end of the battle and was presented with the decapitated heads of the enemy's leaders. A small shrine marks the spot.
Memorial posts (陣跡 kosen) have been set up at most major battle sites, but are only in Japanese.
