A few minutes' walk from Odawara station, Dainari-jinja is a large, atmospheric shrine, surrounded by trees and notable for its profusion of komainu (guardian lions, dogs and wolves). There's also an interesting row of miniature shrines, like little dolls' houses, complete with miniature komainu, and some attractive carvings by the halls and under their eaves.
