Odawara, Transportation hub in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan
Odawara stretches along Sagami Bay, bordered by the Hakone Mountains to the north and the Sakawa River to the east, covering 113 square kilometers.
The city developed as a castle town during the Sengoku period, serving as the capital for the Hojo clan until their defeat by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1590.
The Odawara Hojo Godai Festival takes place every May 3rd, featuring historical reenactments and traditional performances that commemorate the city's heritage.
Travelers can reach Odawara from Tokyo in 30 minutes via the Shinkansen bullet train, making it a convenient gateway to the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park.
