Samarai Gallery and Odawara Castle Museum

These two are on the Odawara Castle grounds.  I wasn't so impressed with them and would skip them, if I were to go back.  What do you think?


Samarai Gallery  


















Castle Museum









After visiting the shrine, the castle, these two museums and watching the yabusame competition, it was time to head for home.

Another interesting adventure, I guess with museums it depends on what you are interested in. Armour does not eo it for me, but hubby would be interested.

Oh, I would have gone back! It is nice to see history illustrated by modern art and displays. The black background and spotlight adds drama to the armor.

I know someone who would love to see all the samurai armour, and the wooden inlay pieces. But perhaps if you have seen a lot of the same things in other museums it is not as interesting.

I would have been interested in the history of the Samurai, so maybe I would have liked it.

The Samurai exhibition looks interesting, but the castle one just seems to be a lot of text to read...still, better to go and be disappointed when you are already there than to miss something really interesting, isn't it?
