Pure historical entertainment! An impressive parade of figures gorgeously characterized as samurai and soldiers, and a great samurai battle reenactment, among other interesting events!

In 1560, Oda Nobunaga and Imagawa Yoshimoto fought the important "Battle of Okehazama". Annually in June, the local townsfolk of Toyake City hold the Historic Okehazama Battlefield Festival. Although having originally started as a Memorial Ceremony for the Dead of War, nowadays it is a popular festival with lots of entertainment and interesting attractions where many history fans gather, such as a samurai parade in which anyone can participate, as well as a Samurai Battle Reenactment.
