The location is highly convenient, with the Sagami Bay within walking distance, offering beach access and fishing opportunities from the shore or tetrapods. From the second floor, you can enjoy views of the sea. The spacious 14-tatami mat room (aside from the living room) offers flexibility and could potentially be converted into a sunken kotatsu area with the purchase of tatami mats. Public transport access is via a 10-minute bus ride from Kōzu Station on the JR Tōkaidō Main Line, followed by a 2-minute walk from the Sakawa 3-chome bus stop.
The surrounding area of Odawara is rich in history and natural beauty. An interesting fact is that Odawara was a major castle town during the Sengoku period, ruled by the powerful Hōjō clan. The closest major landmark is the iconic Odawara Castle, a reconstructed fortress that serves as a museum and symbol of the city, offering panoramic views from its keep.
