About this activity

The personalized walk is an amazing way to connect and feel the people and places of Japan. Odawara Castle is the centerpiece for this walking tour that will include historic insight, local goods, craft shops, and much more.

A city walking tour with a local bilingual guide is included as we explore this historic city on foot. The city of Odawara still has many connections to the traditions and culture of the time of the samurai. Learn about the history of the samurai, architecture of Japanese castle, and all about the mysterious ninja. There is lots to see, do, and experience in the seaside city of Odawara. This is the closest castle to Tokyo and actually ruled the area.
