9th Station: Odawara

History

Travelers could see a first castle town on the way to Kyoto. As shown in the picture, you can enjoy great view of Hakone mountains. Since travelers from Edo had to cross deadly Hakone-toge or Hakone pass right after Odarawa, they stayed for a night in Odawara and tood a rest to prepare for deadly climing.
