Station 10
Odawara: Sakawa River. It was customary, during the Edo period, for travelers to be borne across a river on a platform carried on the shoulders of watermen. When, at length, Westerners were admitted to Japan, they were much amused by this custom, and one curious American, on a trip to Odawara, was astonished to discover how small the volume of water in the river actually was. In the background, the mountains of Hakone glow in the multicolored light of the late afternoon. Once a feif of the Hojo clan, Odawara passed in 1590 to the Okubo, who then ruled the district from the castle that may be seen in the dark foothills of the mountains. Today, Odawara is a flousishing commercial city of nearly 150,000 as well as an important railway junction, the gateway to Hakone.
