    Gifu Fuwa-gun Sekigaharacho Fujishita 678-2
    This grave is located in Sekigahara Town, Fuwa County. Known as an ally of Ishida Mitsunari, general of the Western Army in the Battle of Sekigahara, the grave of Otani Yoshitsugu is found at the north end of the Site of the Battle Camp of Otani Yoshitsugu. Before his aide Yuasa Gosuke was struck down by enemy Todo Niemon, he first passed on the knowledge of the whereabouts of the head of his master, who had committed suicide, and begged him for a memorial service. This made such an impression on Todo that after the war he erected a tomb for Yuasa Gosuke as well.
