いぬと海辺
Castle-adjacent hotel with a strong guest rating
About this hotel
いぬと海辺 puts Odawara Castle within an eight-minute walk, close enough for an early-morning visit before the day-trip crowds arrive, and its 8.8 guest rating ranks among the higher scores tracked in this destination. A restaurant five minutes away covers dinner without a drive, and a nearby bus stop keeps Oiso Long Beach reachable without a rental car for the whole trip. The name translates loosely to a nod toward the coastal, dog-friendly character of the area, though the hotel's own confirmed pet policy isn't listed — worth confirming directly if travelling with a pet. The 3-star rating and castle-adjacent position make it a solid middle-ground pick among the hotels tracked in this destination.

Our take
This suits a family or couple building a stay around Odawara Castle, with the coast a manageable bus or taxi ride away rather than a walk. It's a weaker fit for anyone wanting beach-adjacent rooms or an on-site onsen bathhouse, since neither is part of the confirmed offer here — pair a stay with Oiso Prince Hotel or Tenseien Annex if either matters more to the trip.
- ✓Walk to Odawara Castle early morning, before eight, to see the grounds ahead of the main day-trip crowds.
- ✓Book the restaurant five minutes away ahead on weekends, when castle-day visitors fill it quickly.
- ✓Check the local bus schedule if planning a day trip to Oiso Long Beach without a car.

Why guests love itWe picked いぬと海辺 for the walk to Odawara Castle, and getting there before eight in the morning turned out to be the smartest call of the whole trip — we had the outer grounds almost to ourselves before the first tour buses arrived, then walked back for a late breakfast with the whole day still ahead of us and no crowds to fight for photos.
