A quick tour of Odawara (小田原市) in Japan..
A friend of mine from Switzerland came to visit me in Odawara, a city which is just over an hour away by the bullet train from Tokyo and near to Hakone.
We went to Odawara Castle (小田原城), which has various events around the year. The castle was rebuilt in the 1960's, but it features a museum inside with many cool Samurai related artifacts and an observatory and a souvenir shop. The entry into the castle for myself at the time was 410円, which is worth the price.
Afterwards we went to Seikantei (清閑亭), which is a beautiful Japanese historical villa.
We then had melon soda ice cream, before ending the mini tour at the pebbly beach of Odawara.
