Tonmakuyama by Gyoki, it was transferred to its current location at the end of the Heian Period.

    Shizuoka Hamamatsu-shi Chuo-ku Shikatanicho 25-10
    This museum is located one kilometer north of Hamamatsu Castle. Here, visitors can learn about the Battle of Mikatagahara as well as the Enshu Dai-Nenbutsu, a folk entertainment native to Shizuoka Prefecture. The museum's grounds encompass the 116-meter-long, 30-meter-wide, 13-meter-deep Saigagake cliff valley. Records state the valley is the site where Tokugawa Ieyasu, who experienced a crushing defeat at the hands of Takeda Shingen in 1572 in the Battle of Mikatagahara, executed a night raid on Takeda's forces in retaliation. According to legend, Ieyasu devised a plan to drive away Takeda's army one way or another, hanging a white cloth from the cliff; confused and in disarray due to Ieyasu's night attack, the Takeda army mistakenly saw the cloth as a bridge and both men and horses tumbled into the valley when they tried to cross it.

Shizuoka Areas

around-area-map

With the giant Pacific Ocean to the south and the great Mount Fuji to the north, Shizuoka prefecture is blessed with some of the best views the country has to offer. The white sand beaches of the Izu Peninsula are a rare find on mainland Japan, neighbored by beautiful cliffs, tumbling hills, and natural hot springs. As Japan’s largest producer of green tea, the age-old tradition of tea drinking is ubiquitous in Shizuoka, from the miles of tea fields to the old tea houses hosting traditional tea ceremonies.
