#springwander About a 10-minute walk from JR Odawara Station. About 320 Somei Yoshino trees bloom against the backdrop of Odawara Castle's keep. There is also a children's amusement park and the NINJA Hall in the park, and it is a recommended place as a cherry blossom viewing spot in Kanagawa Prefecture that can be enjoyed with children and family. It is also popular for the romantic date.

If you’re looking for a hidden gem near Tokyo where history meets stunning seasonal beauty, Odawara Castle is the place to be! While most people visit during cherry blossom season, my favorite time is when the irises and azaleas are in full bloom—turning the gardens into a painter’s dream. ✨ Why visit Odawara Castle? 🌺 Azalea Wonderland – The castle’s stone walls are surrounded by vibrant colorful azaleas, creating a breathtaking contrast against the traditional white keep. 🌿 Iris Garden Bliss – Walk through a sea of purple and white irises—a peaceful retreat just steps away from the castle. 🏯 Step into Samurai History – Explore the rebuilt castle keep, samurai armor displays, and panoramic views from the top! 📍 How to get there: A short 10-minute walk from Odawara Station (about 35 minutes from Tokyo by Shinkansen). 🎟 Entry Fee: ¥510 for the castle keep, but the gardens are free! 🕰 Best Time to Visit: Late April to early June for azaleas and irises. 🔥 Pro Tip: After exploring the castle, try Odawara’s famous kamaboko (fish cakes) or head to nearby Hakone for an onsen soak! #historicallandmarks #localguides #beyondtokyo
