Now with the Masayuki and Yukimura’s position clear, Ieyasu's son [[Tokugawa Hidetada|Hidetada]] attacked the father and son at Ueda Castle ([[Second Siege of Ueda]]) on his way to Sekigahara to support his father. The siege at Ueda lasted only eight days and ended in failure for Hidetada, whose 38,000-strong army arrived too late to take part in the fighting at Sekigahara and nearly jeopardized his father’s victory.

Having won the battle of Sekigahara, Ieyasu was now master of the realm and both Masayuki and Yukimura found themselves in a precarious position for having opposed him. Luckily, Nobuyuki was able to intercede on behalf of his father and brother, so their lives were spared. However at the end of 1600, Masayuki and Yukimura were exiled to Kudoyama in Mt. Koya in [[Kii province]]. Yukimura was then 32 years old ([[Age Calculation|western-style age]]).

A number of letters from Yukimura's time in Kudoyama exist, written to his brother or family retainers. Among other things, he said he was learning and enjoying ''renga'', "linked poems" composed in turn in a group, though it was difficult as he had started late. His father Masayuki died in Kudoyama in 1611.
