Odawa City developed as a castle town under the Hojo Clan
during the Warring States period in the 16th century. The city’s
symbol is the Odawara Castle overlooking the local landscape.
The castle was originally built in the mid-15th century and soon
fell into the hands of the Hojo Clan, one of the most powerful
clans of its time. However, in 1590, Toyotomi Hideyoshi attacked
the castle, and with the defeat of the Hojo Clan, reunited
Japan. The castle has been turned into a museum, displaying
relics of its time.
Minaka Odawara Mall is a commercial facility with shopping and
dining options. In the courtyard is the Odawara Shin Joka Machi,
an Edo style recreation of an old castle town with shopping
and dining options.
