Stop
About the destination: Odawara is a city located southwest of Tokyo and who does not enjoy much reputation or interest of the major tourist circuits. This small town is a place of passage for travelers from Tokyo are directed to the area of Hakone to visit one of the most famous natural environments in the world, El Monte Fuji. Most tourists take the Shinkansen Kodama from Tokyo and Odawara alight from where you take a bus to Hakone to reach the area near Mount Fuji, with unique views of the same. Perhaps Odawara does not have a famous temples or traditions so deeply rooted as those found in Kyoto , but if that treasures a únic tranquility where you can enjoy life in a different Japanese city to the great capitals of the country. The town is small size town and can be explored on foot. There is a curious music through the streets leading adorned with classic neon signs that abound in the country. Quiet and clean streets , full of shops and delis that give a traditional touch perfect for walking unhurriedly. The most important thing to see Odawara is undoubtedly its beautiful Medieval Castle . This castle of the Japanese Edo era is one of the great wonders of the country and is part of the more than twenty medieval castles currently living in Japan. The park we found before reaching the Odawara Castle is also worth seeing a beautiful red bridge that reflected in the water, we will show a beautiful image will not forget. The train station is another attraction of the city by its structure and architectural style. Odawara is a quick and easy city to see , so if you plan to visit the area of Mount Fuji, through this route, keep you a few hours to visit this beautiful city and its enigmatic Castle , where you can see a museum full of objects, weapons and apparels and Samurais Edo era.
