Odawara Flower Garden is a popular place to spend a relaxing day outdoors.  There's a tropical greenhouse with a large variety of tropical plants.  But when the weather is nice, it's even better to spend your time at the flower garden outdoors.  The beautiful rose garden contains over 100 types of roses and walking through it makes you feel like you're in a fairy tale.  Below are photos of just a few of the rose varities you can see.

There is also an outdoor seating area and some vendors selling food and drinks.  It's the perfect place to spend a relaxing day.

The garden has free entry so there's no reason not to check it out on a day with nice weather.  It's an excellent place for families to visit as well.  

Odawara Flower Garden is accesible by taking the Daiyuzan Line from Odawara Station for about 20 minutes to Iidaoka Station.  Then take a bus towards Suwahara and get off at the last stop.  Since it's easy to access from Odawara Station, why not include it in your plans to visit Hakone and Odawara Castle?

Address: 3798-5 Kuno, Odawara, Kanagawa Prefecture 250-0055, Japan
