The Siege of Kaminogō Castle was a battle during the Sengoku period (16th century) of Japan.

With the help of his ninja vassal Hattori Hanzo, Tokugawa Ieyasu, after a well fought battle, captured the castle of Kaminogō Castle from its keeper, Udono Nagamochi, a general of the Imagawa. Throughout Ieyasu's victory over the capture of Kaminogō-jō, Ieyasu obtained many useful hostages to use against the Imagawa, who were currently in possession of his own family.
