Experience of the stay
I visited Odawara as an accompaniment for my daughter's school event.
When I stayed here the night before, it became a good conversation starter when everyone asked, "Wait, you stayed here?!"
This time, I stayed in a room in the separate building called 'Tavern'.
The room is a bit far from the check-in lobby, and you have to go outside to take an elevator to the bath, but there was a private bath available on the tavern floor. I believe it could be comfortable for families if they could use it for an additional fee.
Additionally, the sliding doors in the room that resemble shoji were made of plastic, which was reassuring for those with children.
However, although I could sleep without concern, light from street lamps entered through the shoji-style door, so for those who can't sleep unless it's completely dark, this is something to consider. I have included a photo before sleeping in the 15th image. (Due to the camera function, it has been captured brighter than it is, but I don't think it is possible to sleep in complete darkness.)
Staying in front of Odawara Station is a hotel that will give you various conversation topics, so I urge everyone to experience it at least once.
Experiences during the trip
I visited Odawara Castle and the Odawara Tourist Exchange Center.
At the exchange center, I made a seafood bowl using samples of seafood ingredients.
There are many other experiences available besides sample making.
At Odawara Castle, you can learn about history through videos and quizzes, and even for someone who is indifferent to history like me, it was fun to learn.
As for souvenirs, I chose the dried fish from Yamayan, which was highly praised by my family after purchasing it before. When I come to Odawara, it has become a ritual to stock up on it before heading home.
The area around the station is packed with spots to enjoy, so I definitely want you to visit it.Get Extra Bonus Coins! Sign up with this user's referral code now!
