To the north of the town on a small hill that offers a commanding view of both the town and the battlefield. This is where Ishida Mitsunari, Tokugawa Ieyasu's main opponent and leader of the Western Alliance at the battle, based his camp. Two rows of wooden palisades flank the base of the hill, and a stairpath allows visitors to walk up to the memorial at the top. Can easily be seen from the observation deck of the Gifu Sekigahara Battlefield Memorial Museum, as well as from most of the town.

関ケ原ウォーランド
While it's not a historic site, War Land is an open-air recreation of the Battle of Sekigahara. It includes encampments with the famous leaders marked so you can take pictures with your favorites. They also have samurai armor rentals for an additional fee so you can take pictures in the battlefield as a fighter. Armor rentals are not available in the summer due to the high risk of heat stroke. Just outside of War Land, they often host other events, such as summer umbrella (hanagasa) displays and cosmos flower viewing in the autumn.
