Hi.

Could you correct my English?

"Odawara Castle"

I went and saw cherry blossoms and Odawara Castle in Odawara city. This castle was constructed in 1417, and the owners changed several times.

Around Warring States and Azuchi-Momoyama period (1467-1600), there were a lot of chatelaines called “daimyoh” in Japan. They were fighting for supremacy. This sounds like the U.K.’s old history, but one thing that was different is Japan has had Tennoh(Emperor) since 7th century. You might know of a word “Shohgun”; this title was given to “the leader of a samurai clan” (the winner among chatelaines) by Emperor; even so, Tennoh’s authority has been artificial.

Anyway, Japan has a lot of beautiful castles. Come and take a look at these cool donjons!

Thank you!
