(part 2) After looking around the Old Folks home, I found this sign outlining the historical significance of the site
Out on the street was another stone marker with some information on the Honnoji incident.
And this single, lonely official historical marker.
Why does Japan allow such a historically significant site as this, not a footnote, but an impressive page in Japan's long history, to be built over? Surely such an important site should at least be preserved as a park! This is where one of the three great unifiers of Japan, Oda Nobunaga,... a man admired by many today, was assassinated! His ashes grace the spot,...or did until this building was erected...
