Odawara Castle

The Odawara Castle is located close to the Odawara train station (10 min walk). An armor and weapon collection is presented in the renovated inside as well as a picture gallery of other famous Japanese Temples. The view of the city and ocean from the upper floor observatory is worth the visit.

Gaijin San

Since my better half is Japanese I often have the chance to travel to Japan. I grew fond over time of this magnificent country. I thought of sharing with you some places worth visiting in this little but growing travel guide to Japan. I try to show with images what I can't express with words. I hope you may find here some inspiration! For those who wonder, I chose the moniker Gaijin-San after being called like this by a waitress at a grilled eel restaurant. "Gaijin" means foreigner and "San" is a honorific suffix in Japanese.
