[[Inaba Masaharu]], son of [[Kasuga no Tsubone]], became lord of Odawara in [[1632]], and had the castle renovated, to become more fully an [[Edo period]]-style castle. The ''Honmaru'' palace was maintained only for the shogun's use, should he come to stay at the castle for a time, while the castellan's residence and administrative offices were maintained in the ''Ni-no-maru'' palace. The ''Ni-no-maru'' palace was particularly lavishly appointed in the 1620s-40s, as it was prepared for the [[1634]] stay of [[Tokugawa Iemitsu]], as he passed through Odawara on his way to Kyoto. The castle suffered considerable damage in a [[1703]] earthquake, and though the ''Ni-no-maru'' palace was reconstructed, it never reached the same heights again.
