Odawara area road conditions

[bj_moore]

Anybody have any info on road conditions in the Odawara area? I'm wanting to do some of the climbs in that area but I'm unsure if anything is maintained in winter. Thanks

Climbing from Odawara to Hakone? If so the roads are open.

I had been looking at the one but also at Yabitsu Pass. Do any of the passes out there close for winter or do they typically stay open during winter?

Yabitsu is pretty much always open. Doesn't mean you won't encounter ice along the way, but open.
