Sekigahara Samurai Battle Field museum and battle field walk
When talking about history of Japan, the word "Shogun" is frequently used. However, Shogun and Samurai society around Kamakura to Edo period are really mysterious to foreign visitors, for example "what is different between Shogun and King?" As we walk around the battlefield where as 160,000 samurai worriors fought between West and East two allies, and as we see many historical remains at the museum, we can imagine the entire view of one of most fierce and important events in Japanese history.

Tetsuji Y.
Hello everyone. I am Tetsuji. I worked as a public servant in the local government for 35 years. I belonged to the department of Redevelopment, Town-Landscaping, Preserving historical areas and Architectural Guidance. (I have a national 1st-class architect license.) I devoted myself to revitalizing the city by making plans and improving infrastructure for citizens. Gifu is located in central Japan near Nagoya. As just being the crossroads of the West and the East, there are many unique attractions that are hard to discover in hectic big cities like Tokyo or Kyoto. I had a hand in restoring and preserving some of them throughout my career and want to introduce them to tourists from abroad. That’s why I became a guide-interpreter in Gifu. I also enjoyed traveling around the world. My favorite part of each trip was walking around the city and talking with local residents. Traveling has taught me lots of things during my lifetime. Now, I would like to help others have similar experience in Japan. Shall we enjoy fantastic journey in Gifu?
