Based on the “Sekigahara Historic Battlefield Grand Design” drawn up in March 2015, site facilities that reveal everything about the Battle of Sekigahara have been developed. The Gifu Sekigahara Battlefield Memorial Museum (familiarly known as the “Sekigahara Memorial”) plays a central role in this.
The renowned and decisive Battle of Sekigahara took place on this very site in the year 1600. This experienced-based facility makes use of all the latest technology to give you a firsthand experience of this historical event.
You can also visit the surrounding historical sites to get a wider and deeper understanding of the Battle of Sekigahara.
On entering the Memorial Museum, prepare yourself first for the giant “Ground Vision” screen that allows an overhead view of the East and West camps dividing the whole nation. Next up is a powerful recreation of the violent confrontation between the two forces, shown as a film in the theater. Such is its overwhelming power, you may wonder if you have accidentally wandered into the battle itself. Don’t forget to visit the permanent exhibits on the second floor and interact with the VR attraction, which allows you to experience firsthand the man-to-man combat of the Sengoku (Warring States) period.
The period before and after Battle of Sekigahara plays out like a human drama of loyalty, friendship, collusion and conflict, with the samurai generals of the Eastern and Western Armies playing central roles.
The scenery that unfolds before you while touring the historic battlefield of Sekigahara will cause you to think more deeply about the minds of these samurai generals, and it may make you enjoy this historical event from a new angle.
To accompany the opening of the Gifu Sekigahara Battlefield Memorial Museum, we have also opened a retail facility containing a café and souvenir shop. The café has an original menu featuring dishes that can only be tried here and the souvenir shop handles a wide range of merchandise related to the Battle of Sekigahara. Drop in and treat yourself before or after a stroll around Sekigahara.
This is an educational and experience-based facility that focuses on the local characteristics and history of Sekigahara.
To complement the Gifu Sekigahara Battlefield Memorial Museum, this facility has a 100-person capacity multi-purpose hall that introduces other aspects of Sekigahara (e.g. the Jinshin War, the Nakasendo Highway, and the Tamanokayakuko Powder House) with actual exhibits. There is also an experience-based exhibition room where visitors will come into direct contact with actually used folk goods.
