Gifu Sekigahara Battlefield Memorial Museum
Start at the Gifu Sekigahara Battlefield Memorial Museum. The new exhibits, including the 4D theater movie, give you the background on the battle. Use this time to orient yourself before heading out.
17:04
Walk 9 minutes northeast to Okayama Signaling Hill. This is where the flare was fired to signal for reinforcements. It is the perfect vantage point to watch the sun set toward the WSW.
17:34
Head back down the hill to Coco Cafe, just 6 minutes away. Grab a drink here to unwind after the walk and wait for the evening air to settle.
18:04
Take an 8-minute walk south to Uoshige for dinner. This restaurant specializes in eel dishes, a local specialty. It is open until 20:00, so you have plenty of time.
