Part of the original field is pretty much as it was then (Ishida 
Mitsunari's positions for example), Kobayakawa's etc. There are markers 
and some nice hiking to do. The village area is now built up of course, 
though there is a nice museum and Ieyasu's forward position is 
preserved. Not as well as Nagashino/Shitagahara (1575) but otherwise a 
good day out. Not much info in English or other languages of course.
