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.
