The shichi-kyô-ochi (lit. "fall of seven nobles") incident was one in which seven court nobles of the anti-shogunate sonnô jôi ("Revere the Emperor, Expel the Barbarians!") faction were expelled from Kyoto after being discovered plotting against the kôbu gattai ("Union of Shogunate & Court").
The seven, namely Sanjô Sanetomi, Sanjô Nishisuetomo, Higashikuze Michitomi, Mibu Motonaga, Shijô Takauta, Nishikikôji Yoritomi, and Sawa Nobuyoshi, had previously had their plots defeated by the kôbu gattai faction on at least one prior occasion.

Two of the places they are known to have stopped and stayed along the way are Tomo no ura (modern-day Fukuyama City, Hiroshima prefecture)[1] and Mitarai (today part of Kure City, Hiroshima pref.).[2]
