Odawara Castle ParkNotes:
Odawara Castle was originally built in the early 15th century, and it used to be one of the largest castles in Japan. The ruins of Odawara Castle are now called Odawara Joshi Koen (Odawara Castle Park). The main attraction here is the donjon which was restored in 1960. Also, there are a zoo, an amusement park, museums, and about 350 sakura trees in the park. In spring, cherry blossom festivals are held.
