    It was quiet with few tourists because it was far from the main street with the warehouse, which is the center of sightseeing.

    Original Text

    During the Sengoku period (period of Warring States) when Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi were active, there was a large stone monument on the site of the battlefield where Mr. Hojo and Mr. Uesugi fought over Kawagoe Castle. It was quiet with few tourists because it was far from the main street with the warehouse, which is the center of sightseeing in Kawagoe.

    The big ginkgo tree was beautiful.

    Original Text

    It is quite far from the cityscape of Kurazo. In the precincts, there was a monument to the Kawagoe Night Battle Site, which is the site where Mr. Uesugi and Mr. Hojo fought. The large ginkgo tree in the same precincts was wonderful. It would be more beautiful if it turned yellow.
