	Odawara
		In Odawara an artisans' guild was created, with tanners, lumbermen, carpenters, flsmiths, sliding door makers, weavers, papermakers, pearl jewelers, swordsmiths, and other types included, an indicator of the bustling economy which was developing in the city.
		Odawara was well-known for its uido (a medicine which every traveler carried), wood inlays, ume boshi, shiokara or salted fish guts, kamboko or boiled fish paste, and, although it didn't apply to tourists, later guns and cannons.
		Odawara, slowly developing over thousands of years into what, under the Hojo family during the Warring States period, was the center of power and development of the Kanto plane, was struck the double blow in the Edo period of the financial difficulties which crippled the entire nation, as well as constant, debilitating natural disasters.

		Castle construction proceeded even though during that year Terumoto was on duty protecting Kyoto, while Hideyoshi Toyotomi was attacking Odawara Castle.
		He collided with the Takeda Clan based in Kanayama Castle (Gion-cho), who were responsible for the Province of Aki (the greater part of the present Hiroshima Prefecture); with the Amako Clan, who were allied with the Takedas, and with the priestly family which ruled Itsukushima.
		On the pretext of deterring Nagamichi Asano, the former lord, from moving his residence to Tokyo when the rule of feudal clans was abolished and prefectures in history as the Buichi Riot, it was an explosion of the uncertainty which farmers felt toward the new government, and indicated dissatisfaction with the ruling class.

		It was the seat of power of the Hojo clan[4], who had their way with this part of the Kanto plain for several decades, before they were defeated by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the late 1500's, and emigrated to America to prosper in the hotel/ restaurant business[5].
		The original castle was torn down in the late 1800s, during the Meiji reign's frantic burst of modernization, but the castle was rebuilt after the original design in 1960.
