My good friend Mikawa Hide has a nice post on Okehazama. His post is about enjoying the moment when visiting the Arimatsu and Toyoake battlefields.
1. Easily can visited in day. Both Okehazama battlefields Arimatsu/Toyoake City can be seen in day. You can walk from the Arimatsu to the Toyoake City battlefield in about 15 minutes. During the time of the battle (1560), the geography was much different and the time between the two areas much shorter. During the time of the battle, the distance between the two was anywhere between five to ten minutes.
2. Certain things can be only locally explored. So true. For example, Takaneyama. It was the camp of Matsui Munenobu. Takaneyama was steep and still is to this day. It was 177 feet above sea level and it was the highest point during the battle. As for Toyoake City, Senninzuka. This is where the war dead was buried. Senninzuka is located farther east from the Toyoake City battlefield. This explains why the battlefield was much more expansive than originally thought.
