The battle of Mimasetoge took place in 1569, as the forces of Takeda Shingen withdrew from repeated failed sieges of the Hōjō clan's Odawara Castle. The Hōjō forces laid in wait for him in the pass of Mimase, but despite outnumbering the Takeda two-to-one, they failed to prevent Takeda Shingen's retreat to his home castle in Kōfu, Kai Province.
