Odawara Castle is a symbol of Odwara City. It was as an impregnable castle owned by the Hojo clan, the samurai family who governed Kanto region for about a century from the end of 15th century. Since then, the castle became a reserve for Hakone and Tokaido route and functioned as a cornerstone of defense in the region. The castle has reopened in May 2016 after the completion of a seismic retrofit and renewal of the exhibition inside.

Easy to get to from Odawara train station. 10 minutes walk and you're there. The grounds are lovely with some huge trees. The castle is restored and well kept with displays of Samurai armour, swords and well documented literature (but some in only Japanese). It may not be the biggest Castle in Japan but I really enjoyed the visit.

下曽我駅からアクセスできます。 ボランティアガイドの方が待っていらして、興味深い説明をしながら案内してくれます。 3万5千本の梅林は圧巻です。 雄大な富士山と梅、遠くに見える城や海など、様々な景色も楽しむことができます。 アイス工房のジェラートはとても美味しいです。 地元の方のご厚意で、梅の木の下で花見をすることができます。 You can access from Shimosoga Station. The volunteer guide will wait and guide you with interesting explanations. 35,000 plum trees are a highlight. You can also enjoy various scenery such as the magnificent Mt. Fuji and plum, the castle and the sea seen in the distance. The gelato in the ice studio is very delicious. Thanks to the locals, you can see the cherry blossoms under the plum tree.
