Tomyo-ji Nawate: The Site of Yoshisada Nitta's Death, Battlefield memorial in Fukui, Japan
The site features stone markers and commemorative structures marking the location where the samurai leader Yoshisada Nitta fought his final battle in 1338.
During the Nanboku-cho period, this battlefield witnessed the death of Nitta Yoshisada, who supported Emperor Go-Daigo against the rising Ashikaga shogunate.
The site represents a pivotal moment in Japanese military history, marking the transition between the Kamakura period and the establishment of Ashikaga rule.
Visitors can reach the memorial grounds through local transportation from Fukui Station, with dedicated parking spaces available for those arriving by car.
The exact spot where Nitta received the fatal arrow strike is marked by a stone monument, surrounded by the graves of samurai who committed ritual suicide.
