In the 1526 siege of Kamakura, Satomi Sanetaka led forces of the Uesugi clan against the Hōjō, who took Edo from the Uesugi two years earlier. The city was defended by a number of retainers of Hōjō Ujitsuna, including members of the Itō and Ogasawara families.

The Uesugi forces burned much of the city to the ground, including Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gū. This was a terrible psychological loss for the Hōjō, since the earlier Hōjō clan, from which they took their name, had suffered their final defeat at the same location in 1333.
