The Battle of Okehazama took place in Okehazama, Nagoya City between powerful generals Imagawa Yoshimoto and Oda Nobunaga during Japan's ancient Warring States period (circa 1467–1590). This event is a memorial for those who fell during the historic battle and lights some 3,500 lanterns around O Pond in their memory.
Other festivities include guided history tours, a parade of armor-clad warriors, and more for a glimpse of what the time of the battle would have been like.
