History edit
Having burned the town of Odawara surrounding the Hōjō home castle two years earlier, Takeda Shingen laid siege to a number of other Hōjō holdings in the surrounding provinces, including Fukazawa castle, in Suruga province.
This was the sixth time he had invaded Suruga; Fukazawa castle was held by Hōjō Tsunashige, who ultimately surrendered and withdrew to Tamanawa Castle.[1]
