Fuwanoseki Museum (Sekigahara Town History and Folklore Museum)
Walk five minutes northeast to the Fuwanoseki Museum. Use this time to browse the Sekigahara Memorial Museum Bekkan annex if you want a souvenir before leaving the complex.

Take the 26-minute walk northeast to Okayama Signaling Hill. This was the vantage point for the flare that signaled reinforcements. Arrive as the golden light hits the western sky, casting long shadows over the battlefield terrain.
