🏯✨ Odawara: A Peaceful Escape Between Tokyo & Hakone

Just an hour from Tokyo by Shinkansen, Odawara surprised me with its calm, coastal charm and rich samurai history.

🗡️ Odawara Castle – A beautifully reconstructed castle surrounded by cherry trees and a peaceful park. Climb to the top for panoramic views!
🍢 Kamaboko Street – Sample local fish cakes (kamaboko), try a DIY workshop, or grab some fresh seafood.
🌊 Odawara Beach & Port – Not crowded, perfect for a quiet stroll with ocean breeze.

🎟️ Budget:
• Train from Tokyo: ~1,000–3,000 yen
• Castle entry: ~500 yen
• Food/snacks: ~1,000–2,000 yen
💸 Total: ~3,000–5,000 yen/day

⸻

✨ Why I loved it:
✅ Less touristy
✅ Easy day trip from Tokyo
✅ Great mix of culture + nature

📍Tip: Visit on a clear day to enjoy both the sea and castle view!
