Here is a video on Nobunaga's first baptism of fire. It took place in 1547 in Mikawa. The landmark picture above is new and is located at Tsushima/Heiwa Shrine. To get there, it is a 10 minute walk from Hekinan Chuo Station (Meitetsu Mikawa Line). It seems that Nobunaga encountered the army of Osada Shigemoto, an ally of the Imagawa.
The Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga (p. 55)
"The next year, [Tenbun 16 (1547)], Oda Saburo Nobunaga went on his first military campaign, accompanied by Hirate Nakazukasa no Jo. For this occasion, Nobunaga was attired in a red-striped head cover (zukin) and half-coat (haori); his horse was fitted with armor. Nobunaga led his troops toward Kira and Ohama in Mikawa Province, where a Suruga force was stationed. After setting fires Here and there, he had a field camp pitched for the day. The next day he returned to Nagoya from his expedition."
Nobunaga no tame!
