Ishigakiyama Ichiya-jo

Flow of the course

About this spot

The ruins of a castle said to have been built in a single night by Toyotomi Hideyoshi during the siege of Odawara, now maintained as a historical park where the stone walls remain. It stands high up, and the appeal is a view from the observation area reaching across Sagami Bay and central Odawara to the Izu Peninsula in the distance. You can enjoy the cool breeze on the heights while sensing history, making it just right for a stroll before sea bathing. The grounds are green as well, suited to an unhurried family walk.

Tips

You walk from the parking area to the observation point. Some paths are unpaved, so comfortable shoes are recommended. The sun is strong in summer, so do not forget a hat and plenty to drink.

Best time to visit

About 45 minutes. The morning, when the air is clear, offers the best view
