An exceptionally pleasant afternoon it was which i enjoyed to the hilt at Odawara. Odawara is an erstwhile Samurai capital which once practically controlled the Tokyo region . Definitely a very lovely place where perhaps one can still hear the footsteps of a Samurai and sense the fragrance of an era gone by !Today the area falls within Kanagawa prefecture and it is famous for its castle built by the powerful clan of Hojo Samurais. Castle is impressive indeed ,but i enjoyed the breeze more.........
