On a beautiful June afternoon, Mrs. S. and I took the train to Odawara to explore the castle. Like most castles in Japan, the original castle was destroyed and the one that stands now was rebuilt in the 1960's. It is listed as one of the 100 Fine Castles of Japan.

Love the stone wall base
The original moat has been filled in and is now home to seasonal flowers
During our trip, it was covered in hydrangeas. It was beautiful!
This was a great, quick afternoon trip from Ebina Station. I highly recommend taking the time to visit if you are living or visiting in this area!
