Experience of the stay
The reason I chose Odawara as the final destination for my West Izu trip was that I was curious about a certain hotel.
[Reason for stay] The attraction was its photos, direct connection to the station, underlying commercial facilities, and the hot springs transported from Hakone.
[Room] The room was very clean, but there was a separate building, and I had to go outside to access the large bath. The 4th floor was a shoe-free area, creating a somewhat awkward feeling with the commercial area up to the 3rd floor.
However, staying in the main building means sharing the elevator with the commercial facilities. Since it is a 14-story building, it can be troublesome during the day to call for the elevator, so the "Yagura Room" might be preferable.
[Meals] There are many commercial facilities around, so I had no trouble finding food, with convenience stores in abundance.
[Onsen] It has a sauna, large bath, and open-air bath, although there are some issues with the flow between the elevator and the annex.
[Strolling around the town] Nearby are Odawara Castle, Odawara Station, and Hayakawa Fishing Port, making it extremely convenient.
[Impression] It was an ideal final stop for my trip, but I felt the coin prices were a bit high. If it were 300 coins, I might consider going back again; it felt more like a staycation than a trip.
Experiences during the trip
The final leg of my 3-night, 4-day trip ended in Odawara, where I decided to relax in a private room with an onsen, anticipating that two nights in a dormitory would be tiring. I enjoyed seafood for lunch and dinner and even had lunch the next day in Odawara.
I had a satisfying ending with fried horse mackerel and crab soup, but my return trip was delayed due to the Tōkaidō Line. Fortunately, I was able to get a seat on the train bound for Kōbahara that started in Odawara; it was packed starting from the next station, even though it was daytime.
In Odawara, I bought various unique souvenirs like "kamase" and "red snapper salt" from Tokuzōmaru's souvenir shop, filling my bag with goodies.
I created memories in Todda, Shuzenji, Atami, and Odawara. It was a trip where I immediately wanted to revisit Shuzenji.Get Extra Bonus Coins! Sign up with this user's referral code now!
