Odawara's main attraction is without doubt the castle. It's not Japan's most spectacular castle, but it's still a good one.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odawara_castle
Whilst today's castle is a reconstruction rather than what once was, there is an awful lot of history on display here, unsurprisingly really, given that the old castle stood in its various forms for centuries.
As one normally expects with Japanese castles, there are displays of armor and various weapons inside, as well as some historical scrolls and so on.
If you are in Hakone, make the effort to come and visit, it's well worth it.

We took a bit of a look at the local history museum, which was useful in outlining the long history of Odawara castle in particular.
Having said that, there's very little English commentary, so this museum may not be so interesting for non-Japanese speakers.

Odawara is very much the gateway to Hakone these days, but has a long history as a feudal outpost, hence the castle in town. There's nothing to stop the visitor to Hakone dropping in for a look.
