Odawara Castle Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Odawara Castle in the center of Odawara was the residence of the Hojo clan, the princes who dominated the Kanto region during the Warring States Period. Built in 1495, Odawara Castle has served as the political center of the southern Kanto region for nearly a hundred years. In 1590, Toyotomi Hideyoshi obtained the right to rule over most of Japan and began to actively attack the unwilling Hojo clan (known as the Odawara Conquest). His relationship with Odawara Castle has since ended. After entering the Edo period of the Tokugawa shogunate, Odawara Castle was located between Tokyo, Hakone, and the Izu Peninsula. It was an important road between Edo and Kyoto, and its strategic position was very important. Tokugawa Ieyasu appointed his confidant, Tadashi Okubo, as the castle lord to protect the safety of the Edo area. After Okubo Tadashi took office, he built many more castles and strengthened protective measures. The castle that you see now was restored in 1960. The 60-meter-high castle tower overlooks the Boso Peninsula and the Izu Peninsula. There are permanent exhibitions inside the castle tower, displaying various materials related to the history of Odawara.

Odawara castle was a stronghold of the Doi clan during the kamakura period…
Although it is a reconstructed reinforced concrete structure, it is full of fun places such as the castle tower, ninjas, SAMURAI, seasonal scenery, cherry blossoms, autumn leaves, wisteria trellis, animals, and a very cheap compact amusement park. There are many famous places and popular spots for sightseeing in the surrounding area, so it is a place that you can enjoy as many times as you like.
I highly recommend visiting Odawara castle. Although it isn’t as big as some of the other castles, it is equally breathtaking. Enjoy walking around the grounds or taking a picture from the top of the castle! Odawara castle is a must visit for those visiting Kanagawa prefecture!
Very recommended place is very close to the station. There are many delicious things next to the city~ It is recommended to go to the city building to overlook the Izu Peninsula and the battle of Odawara in Xiangmo Bay. The history of Beitiao's siege by Fengchen Xiuji is very pleasant. The surrounding moat and the city are very pleasant. It's also very well maintained.
Beautiful park Flowers n Rocky Beach nearby. Beautiful Castle. Went inay
spending spring visiting odawara castle was one of the best choices i ever made. The sakura trees were in full bloom and beautiful
