Odawara Castle is a handsomely reconstructed keep of the Hōjō clan, set in a cherry-tree park with a small history museum inside and bay views from the top — an easy Shinkansen day trip and the gateway to Hakone. Cherry-blossom season is the highlight. Quick to see, and easily combined with Hakone.
