[Odawara Castle Ruins]

#FuritabiWinter

This castle was located in Odawara City during the Warring States period, and is famous as the residence of the Hojo clan, who ruled the Kanto region for about 100 years and five generations.

When the 9km-long structure surrounding the castle was completed in preparation for Toyotomi Hideyoshi's attack, it became the largest castle in the country.

The current castle tower was rebuilt in 1960 as a commemorative project for the 20th anniversary of Odawara City's administration.

Inside, armor, swords, drawings, ancient documents, and other materials that convey the history of Odawara, as well as materials on samurai culture, are on display.

The Tokiwagi Gate, Sumiyoshi Bridge, and Domon Gate were later rebuilt, and the Umade Gate was rebuilt in 2009.

📍About a 5-minute walk from Odawara Station
