Shinshiro-City 35th Shitaragahara Battlefield Festival
Date : 06/08/2024
A memorial for the departed souls of the Warring States period
The Battle of Nagashino-Shitaragahara in 1575 was the first war in Japan to use guns at a large scale. The Historic Shitaragahara Battlefield acts as the stage for the Shitaragahara Battlefield Festival, where a matchlock gun demonstration, elementary/junior high school warrior parade, warrior demonstration at the Anti-cavalry Fence by children, and other events take place for insight into what the actual battle may have looked like.
