Panoramic views of Sagami Bay from the tower, ninja experience and children's amusement park awaits
About this spot
An impregnable castle that flourished as the stronghold of Hojo clan warlords during the Sengoku period. From the top floor of the reconstructed main tower, you can overlook Sagami Bay and the mountains of Hakone. Within the castle grounds are a children's amusement park and ninja experience facility "NINJA-kan," making it an enduring Odawara sightseeing spot that delights both history enthusiasts and children who love physical activity.
Tips
The tower has stairs only, so it's safer to check your stroller at the entrance. The miniature train in the park is hugely popular with small children, so riding it early is recommended.
Best time to visit
Allow 1.5 hours; it's less crowded in the 9 o'clock hour right after opening
