The village of Noheji in what is now part of Aomori Prefecture was an important port for the Nambu clan on Mutsu Bay. Noheji was garrisoned by approximately 400 men from Hachinohe Domain after the defection of the Tsugaru back to the imperial side. The port was shelled by Kubota Domain warship "Shunyo-maru" commanded by Saga Domain's Nakamuta Kuranosuke on September 10, but with little damage to the village or reported casualties.
