Odawara Sakura x Castle Photowalk 🏯🌸
詳細
Castle and Sakura, what a perfect Japanese marriage 🏯🌸. 小田原城 was first built around 1500 (no exact record). This is the only castle that still has a tower in this prefecture after the castle abolition law.🥷
While Kamakura was once a centre of government, Odawara grew as a castle town under some samurai families. Hope you enjoy the different side of local culture.
