Odawara Castle
A mountain castle built by the Omori Family in the Muromachi Period
(from 1338 to 1573) was a forerunner of Odawarajo. This donjon
was rebuilt in the style it had at the end of the Edo Period (1603
to 1867) based on a model made around 1700 in the Edo Period.
Inside the donjon are exhibits with historical information materials.
The top floor with an altitude of 60 m commands a good view of
Sagami Bay.
