All Reviews of Odawara Castle

Odawara Castle is one of Kanagawa Prefecture's most iconic historic attractions. Its white main keep looks elegant and has plenty of old-castle charm. Inside, you can see historical exhibits, learn about Odawara Castle and the Sengoku period, and get a strong sense of its history.

On this visit, I took a leisurely walk along the paths inside the castle grounds, admiring the stone walls, gates, and surrounding greenery. The overall environment was quite pleasant. From the top of the main keep, you can also look out over Odawara and the distant scenery. The view is very expansive.

Since it’s known as an impregnable castle, it feels like it could bring you some good luck.

There are also places to eat, so you can take a break while looking out at the castle.

There weren't too many people, so it was nice to stroll around inside the castle. The main keep is really impressive!

Definitely one of the top spots near Tokyo. If you're heading to Hakone or Atami, I recommend stopping by!

From the top of the main keep, you get a wide, sweeping view of all of Odawara City.
