Odawara Castle 小田原城 Drone Footage 4K Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan
Odawara was a stronghold of the Doi clan during the Kamakura period, and a fortified residence built by their collateral branch, the Kobayakawa clan stood on the approximate site of the present castle. After the Uesugi Zenshū Revolt of 1416, Odawara came under the control of the Omori clan of Suruga.
They were in turn defeated by Ise Moritoki of Izu,[1] founder of the Late Hōjō clan in 1495. Five generations of the Late Hōjō clan improved and expanded on the fortifications of Odawara Castle as the center of their domains, which encompassed most of the Kantō region.
During the Muromachi period, Odawara Castle had very strong defenses, as it was situated on a hill, surrounded by moats with water on the low side, and dry ditches on the hill side, with banks, walls and cliffs located all around the castle, enabling the defenders to repel attacks by the great warriors Uesugi Kenshin in 1561 and Takeda Shingen in 1569. However, during the Battle of Odawara in 1590, Toyotomi Hideyoshi forced the surrender of the Late Hōjō clan through a combination of a three-month siege and bluff. After ordering most of the fortifications destroyed, he awarded the holdings of the Late Hōjō to Tokugawa Ieyasu.
After Ieyasu completed Edo Castle, he turned site of Odawara Castle over to one of his senior retainer, Ōkubo Tadayo, who reconstructed the castle in its present form on a considerably reduced scale, with the entire castle fitting inside what was the third bailey of the original Late Hōjō castle. Aside from an interruption from 1619–1685, during which time the Inaba clan extensively renovated the castle, the Ōkubo clan ruled over Odawara Domain from Odawara Castle until the Meiji Restoration.
Tokugawa Iemitsu, the 3rd Tokugawa Shōgun, visited Odawara Castle in 1634. The donjon built by the Inaba was destroyed in an earthquake in 1703, but was rebuilt by 1706.
The new Meiji government ordered the destruction of all former feudal fortifications, and in compliance with this directive, all structures of Odawara Castle were pulled down from 1870–1872, with the stone base of the former donjon becoming the foundation for a Shinto shrine, the Ōkubo Jinja, dedicated to the spirits of the generations of Ōkubo daimyō. In 1909, the Odawara Imperial Villa was constructed within the site of the former inner and second bailies. The Imperial Villa was destroyed by the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake. Repair work was made to the stone walls from 1930–1931, but with very poor workmanship. In 1935, two of the remaining yagura (which had been destroyed in the 1923 earthquake) were restored, but on a half-scale.
In 1938, the castle site was proclaimed a national historic monument, with the area under historic preservation restrictions expanded in 1959, and again in 1976 based on further archaeological investigations.
In 1950, repairs were made to the stone base of the former donjon, which had been in ruins since the Great Kantō earthquake, and the area was made into the Odawara Castle Park, which includes an art museum, local history museum, city library, amusement park and zoo. The three-tiered, five-storied donjon, the top floor of which is an observatory was rebuilt in 1960 out of reinforced concrete to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the proclamation of Odawara as a city. However, the reconstructed donjon is not historically accurate, as the observation deck was added at the insistence of the Odawara City tourism authorities. Plans have been discussed since the late 1960s on a more accurate restoration of the central castle grounds to its late Edo period format. These plans resulted in the reconstruction of the Tokiwagi Gate (常磐木門?) in 1971, the Akagane Gate (銅門?) in 1997, and the Umade Gate (馬出門?) in 2009.

Odawara Castle (小田原城, Odawarajō)
Odawara Castle (小田原城, Odawarajō) was originally built in the mid 15th century and soon fell into the hands of the Hojo Clan, one of the most powerful clans during the Warring States Era who used it as a base to control the region around modern day Tokyo. In 1590, Toyotomi Hideyoshi attacked the castle, and with the defeat of the Hojo Clan, reunited Japan.
In 1703 the castle was destroyed by an earthquake but quickly rebuilt; yet in 1870, the castle keep and other buildings were dismantled and sold. The keep was rebuilt again in ferro-concrete in 1960 based on models and drawings from the Edo Period. Over the following years, the three major gates leading up to the castle were also restored. Today it is the closest castle keep to Tokyo.
The castle keep is three stories on the outside and four stories on the inside. The interior features exhibits on the history of the castle as well as displays of items such as armor and swords. The top floor offers nice views of the park and surrounding city.

Odawara Castle, Kanagawa ● 小田原城
► Odawara Jo is a rather small - but quite charming - little castle, located in central Odawara, Kanagawa. It was originally built in 1447, and partly reconstructed in 1633, 1706 and 1960 after taking several blows from various battles, wars and quakes. It was used as both a clan residence and centerpoint of defence in the town of Oadawa during the entire Edo period.
Today, the interior of the castle serves as a museum, displaying several items from the Edo period, such as Samurai swords & armour, but also a big small scale model of how Odawara looked in the Edo period (unfortunately, those items arent featured in the video, as the premises were strictly no photo-areas.) - Enjoy!

Odawara, Japan in June, a quick tour! - 6月中に小田原を訪問
A quick tour of Odawara (小田原市) in Japan..
A friend of mine from Switzerland came to visit me in Odawara, a city which is just over an hour away by the bullet train from Tokyo and near to Hakone.
We went to Odawara Castle (小田原城), which has various events around the year. The castle was rebuilt in the 1960's, but it features a museum inside with many cool Samurai related artifacts and an observatory and a souvenir shop. The entry into the castle for myself at the time was 410円, which is worth the price.
Afterwards we went to Seikantei (清閑亭), which is a beautiful Japanese historical villa.
We then had melon soda ice cream, before ending the mini tour at the pebbly beach of Odawara.

One of the buildings in the former Trading Post of Dejima has been turned into an Archaeological Museum. I intended to do a fast in and out but it is fascinating - try to allow enough time.
A highlight is the beautifully carved pipes with a magnifying glass over them so visitors can see the detail. Incredible...

The Truth About Japanese Ninja | 外国人が知らない、忍者の話
Historically they went by many names--Monomi, Kusa, Rappa, Nokizaru, Shinobi, but the most popular term to use when referring to Feudal Japan’s famous spies, is “Ninja”.
In Pop Culture and Fiction, Ninja take on the imageof being skilled assassins, dressed in black, moving swiftly through the night with almost mythical skills and powers— but how much of that is actually true?
The Japan Ninja Council is a national team dedicated to preserving the fact and fiction of ninja, and translating it into modern terms for the current day and age. With their guidance I travelled across Japan to speak to experts and determine the truth behind Japanese history’s most mysterious beings.

EXPLORING ODAWARA CASTLE | Gorgeous Spring wander during Sakura season! 桜の季節の小田原城
I had a short visit to Odawara castle in April and it was a beautiful Spring day with the Sakura in full bloom. The view from the top of the tower was wonderful too!
Odawara is the gateway city to Hakone and I stayed there overnight on my way from Kyoto to Hakone. It's a great place for a short stay!
I recommend Odawara castle if you enjoy Japanese history and architecture. The museum and tour inside the castle is pretty interesting with weapons, armoury, calligraphy and paintings, and you can learn all about the history of the ruling family who lived there too. :)

Osaka Castle Museum,Osaka, Japan
Osaka Castle is a popular tourist spot and a striking historical landmark in the middle of a modern urban cityscape of high-rise concrete blocks. The castle stands in an expansive lawn covered park and consists of a complex network of moats, turrets, and walls surrounding a massive central tower. Thirteen of the structures around the main tower are designated as Important Cultural Assets by the national government. The main central tower is 55 meters high and houses a museum and a viewing platform from which visitors can enjoy fantastic panoramic views of Osaka city.
Osaka Castle was first built between 1583 and 1585 by the warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi who ruled over Japan at that time. During Hideysohi’s lifetime the castle was constantly enlarged and improved and the town of Osaka grew with it becoming an important center of trade and politics. Much of the castle was destroyed in the wars of the early 17th century, rebuilt again in 1620, and then lost again to a fire caused by a lightning strike in 1665.
The current castle tower that we see today is a reconstruction completed in 1931. This building survived the bombing raids of World War 2, but did suffer some damage, and was again badly damaged by a typhoon in 1950. Happily the castle was completely renovated in 1997, with fresh white plaster on the walls, new tiles on the roof, restored ornaments, and gold leaf decoration. Today it stands in the midst of modern Osaka as a stunningly beautiful symbol of the city’s pride in its past.
