    This is a flatland mountain castle which existed from the Warring States period to the Edo period, and Odawara Castle was once the stronghold of the Hojo clan. The keep and the turrets of the castle were destroyed by two major earthquakes during the Edo period. The present castle keep was rebuilt in 1960, and the interior is an exhibition space for historical materials.

    Kanagawa Odawara-shi Jonai 6-1

    お堀端通りから、城址公園・小田原城へ行く際にお堀を渡る朱色の橋です。 城址公園内の二の丸広場にあった城内小学校への通学橋として利用されたことから、この名前が付けられたそうです。 見映えが良く写真スポットになる所です。

Kanagawa Areas

around-area-map

Kanagawa prefecture acts as an extension of the Tokyo metropolis that spills over into coastal towns, most notably Yokohama city, heavily populated and known for its Chinatown and seaside attractions. Just the right distance for a day trip out of Tokyo, Kanagawa is home to some of Tokyo’s most accessible beaches, including around Kamakura, best known for its Big Buddha. Visitors can also travel a little farther afield for a weekend at Hakone onsen town.
