#AugustDestinations2025 Odawara Castle, located within Odawara Castle in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, is a symbol of the castle, recreating the castle's famed Warring States period. Built between the late 15th and 16th centuries by the Hojo clan, a daimyo of the Warring States period, the castle was once one of the largest in the Kanto region. The current castle tower, rebuilt in 1960 based on historical records, features three stories and four steps. Inside, an exhibition hall showcases the history of the Hojo clan, weapons, armor, and information about the castle town. The tower's top floor offers panoramic views of Sagami Bay, the Hakone Mountains, and the city, making it a popular tourist attraction in Odawara.
