salisbury3933 Says: 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.

What to buy:
Odawara city is near the Harbor so fresh fish is brought in everyday and kamaboko - steamed processed fish meat cleverly formed on a wooden block is one of the main products of Odawara.
Other nationally famous special products of Odawara include pickled plums, paper lanterns and parquetry.

Views from the top of the castle
salisbury3933 Says: Odawara is on the coast, sandwiched between two peninsulas, meaning some good views from the top of the castle.Here goes.
salisbury3933 Says: There were a lot of kids in the vicinity of Odawara castle, and there's no secret of why. There's a small zoo, free to all, and a small amusement park.I didn't take a look at the amusement park at all, but here's an elephant for you.Kid friendly place indeed.
