2025 Odawara Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

#Solotravel It's certainly cool to go to Hakone and stay in a hot spring hotel, but it's at least HK$800 per person, and single accommodation may cost thousands of dollars a night. If budget tour can stay at Odawara Station and then buy a Hakone pass to save a lot. Discovered a hotel called Odawara Terminal Hotel, a three-minute walk to the tram station bus stop, many restaurants around. The most important thing is cheap. A single room is less than 300 including tax. Usually Japanese hotel room size is about 10-14 square meters or so, but everything is complete, Amenities pickup, small space Hong Kong people will be used to anyway. The room is a trapezoid, with a TV, a refrigerator, a folding table and folding chairs. It's best to buy takeaway and eat by yourself. The bed was not as good as five star but not too bad. There are laundry facilities, microwaves, drink machines, vending machines and ice machines.

#japanhotel 🤭Odawara is located near Hakone, there is a value-for-money hot spring hotel, we went to Odawara's Tenseien Annex to stay, the hot spring water comes from Hakone Tenseien Main Building𠻹, just as comfortable🥰🥰 😵‍💫From the jr station walk out of the street for about a few minutes, through the underground town market on the elevator is the hotel building, up to the platform to take the elevator to the 4th floor is the reception 💙 There are many restaurants and eateries along the way, we have a row, a row to choose 😍😱 🏨The hotel has Spa, sauna, the best of course is the hot spring, after a day of walking in the street to soak, really can help eliminate all fatigue 😍😍 The room has all daily necessities, and big enough to open 2 suitcases, this price is really fair 👍🏻👍🏻 🥹Everyone who goes to Japan might as well come here to play❤️ ♨️ Tenseien Annex Odawara Station Hot Spring Inn recommendation 🥰 💙Tenchengen Odawara Station Annex 💙Address: MINAKAODAWARA 4F 1-1-15 SAKAECHOU, 250-0011, Odawara, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan 💙By: About seven minutes walk from JR Odawara Station 💙Recommendation: ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ #tokyo #hotel #onsen

Whenever I go to Hakone, I change trains at Odawara, but this was my first time getting off the station and exploring the nearby areas. It's a two-hour trip from Tokyo on the Tokaido Line, so it's perfectly fine for a day trip. Odawara Castle is just a ten-minute walk from the station, so it's easy to get to. Speaking of Odawara, it's also famous for its delicious seafood.

If you're traveling to Hakone, we recommend the Kanagawa Prefectural Museum of Natural History🌍 The museum traces the history of the Earth over 4.6 billion years, from its birth to the present, and the flow of life and time in an easy-to-understand way. My son, a dinosaur expert, loves the 10,000 real specimens, from giant dinosaurs and meteorites to pea-sized insects. Another recommended point is that it's small enough that you can see everything in 1-2 hours. ~~~Address~~~ 499 Iriuda, Odawara City, Kanagawa Prefecture ~~~Access~~~ 3 minutes walk from Iriuda Station on the Hakone Tozan Railway #Hakone #HakoneTrip #Museum #Dinosaur #Odawara #Kanagawa Prefecture

#JapanHotel #Hot SpringHotel #HotelInTheHotel #OverseasTravel #Odawara #OdawaraFreeTravel Since staying at Tenseien Hotel in Hakone Yumoto Onsen♨️ was a really great experience, I enjoyed 🈵️ one more hot spring♨️ soup at Odawara, a must-stop station before returning to Tokyo👘 🏨Tensei-en Odawara Station Annex is one of the newly opened hotels in Odawara City in 2020. It is a new-style hot spring hotel located next to the station. The shop layout is based on the shopping street in the hot spring village. The building imitates the traditional Japanese inn in Hakone Hot Spring Village. It has an elegant appearance and is very distinctive. The hot spring water is drained from the main building in Hakone through a water pipe system, so you can enjoy the real Yumoto Onsen in the city. The hotel is only 500 meters away from Odawara Castle. When you take a hot spring bath in the men's bath♨️, you can overlook Odawara Castle🏯 at the same time. Unfortunately, female guests can only see the city view. It would be the happiest if the men's and women's baths could be switched in the morning and evening!

Rokeyaki-so is the residence of a tea master named Matsunaga Yasuzaemon, also known as Mimian, and is a tea room built in 1946 after he moved from Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture. 🍵 The beautiful moss-covered tea room was in the middle of a practice session today, so I couldn't go inside, but I was able to spend a relaxing time strolling around the garden, listening to the sound of the trees swaying and following the whereabouts of the small birds that are used to people. 🍃 It takes about an hour to see the whole thing from Hakone Tozan Railway, Hakone Itabashi Station, so it's a perfect course for a walk. 😊 The autumn leaves must be beautiful during the autumn season. ❣️✨✨ #Autumn trip #Accommodation report #Walk #Hiking

I came here to see the ocean, but I ended up being drawn to the tuna. It's a powerful attraction. 🐟 I've always lined up at "fishing port stations," or new spots, around Hayakawa, to get things like otoro donburi, but I didn't know about this place... it's a hidden gem 🕳 The owner was also a kind and nice guy 😊 The marinated tuna donburi contains various parts, marinated in sesame and seasoned soy sauce, which adds to the flavor, and I enjoyed the sweetness, fat, and chewy texture of each part. You can also choose vinegared rice. And above all, it's extremely fresh ❣️ I also recommend the fried horse mackerel 😋 The boneless, fluffy and juicy meat ✨ It's a masterpiece that will completely change your image of tuna ❣️ The small bowl of sweet and sour tuna also goes well with rice 🍚 There are also souvenir fences. I've decided to come back🎉 #tuna #gourmet #gourmet

A retreat is a way to get away from everyday life, face yourself, and relax your body. It is a luxurious facility with 8 rooms on the hilltop of Enoura in Odawara City, known as the Riviera of the Orient. The quality of the time, space, and food is so high quality✨ It's not flashy or luxurious, but rather a luxury of politeness and good quality. And the hospitality of the staff is truly outstanding! The distance from the guests, the attention to detail, the service spirit, the elegance, the feeling that they can reach the itchy spots! I felt an extraordinary sense of professionalism, and later I heard that there were 3 people from #Amanemu, including the chef! And there is a mist sauna-like facility called #Craft Onsen, which uses patented technology to enhance the concentration of ingredients in natural hot springs by "dripping" hot spring minerals into the natural hot springs, and this was also a feeling I had never experienced before😲My whole body skin was smooth✨✨It felt like I was warming up from the inside of my stomach! ? That was it. The food was also a series of surprises‼ ️ A truly elaborate and "unusual" meal that combines herbal medicine cuisine with Japanese and French cuisine (but not so elaborate that you can't keep up!) Wow, what is this! 😳 Hmm...🤔 Wow♡😆 What❗️😍 It was a fun and moving meal❣️❣️❣️ And maybe because it's based on herbal medicine, my body was warm the whole time♡ But there was nothing bitter or smelly or anything like that! In fact, I wanted to slurp up the broth and the bowl😋 It wasn't a luxury of generously using a lot of high-quality ingredients✴️, but a luxury✳️ that was carefully thought out and made with effort for the body, and in any case, I was captivated by everything😍😍😍 The price is a bit high, but it's worth it‼ ️ Address: 218-1 Enoura, Odawara, Kanagawa Atmosphere/Facilities: Feel the ultimate hospitality that seeks quality rather than luxury Recommended points: From the food to the service, the theme is wellness, so you will leave feeling healthier than when you arrived Budget per person: From 50,000 yen #Breathtaking view #Hard to book accommodation #New opening #Hot spring #Hot spring inn #Retreat #Odawara #Luxury trip #Ocean view #Wellness #Luxury #Eastern Japan #Kanagawa Prefecture #Le Flo #Must visit at least once #t2203

I'd like to introduce a hotel with excellent value for money that I stayed at the night before my trip to Hakone♪ The hotel is called "Toyoko Inn Odawara Station East Exit"✨ It's about a 3-minute walk from Odawara Station, so it's easily accessible! There's a shopping mall called "Minaka Odawara" nearby, so you won't have any trouble finding something to eat or drink. It's convenient to be close to Odawara Station, as you can easily go to Hakone, Shonan, and Yokohama♪ Toyoko Inn offers a point card service, and if you stay 10 times, you can get one free night. This time, I was able to stay for free using that benefit✌️ Access: 1-6-7 Sakaemachi, Odawara City, Kanagawa Prefecture #Value Hotel
