[2025 Akashi Attraction] Travel Guide for Akashi Castle Ruins (Updated Jul)

At Go-no-Ike on the north side of Akashi Park, you can enjoy nostalgic-style boats. This pond was created using a natural pond that existed since the castle was built. When you start rowing the boat, you quickly realize if someone is slacking off. The pedals are heavy, and for someone out of shape, it was a good 30-minute workout. It's fun, so I recommend it, but make sure to row together harmoniously. ◆ Boat: 900 yen for 30 minutes ◆ [Weekdays] 10:00-16:30 [Weekends & Holidays] March-October 10:00-17:00 (Last entry 30 minutes before closing), November-February 10:00-16:30 (Last entry 30 minutes before closing) ◆ Closed: Every Tuesday (Open during cherry blossom season, Golden Week, and holidays) *Closed on weekdays from early November to mid-March ✱----------------------------------------------- 【Name】Akashi Park Waterfront 【Location】1-27 Akashi Park, Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture 【Access】About a 5-minute walk from JR/Sanyo Electric Railway Akashi Station 【Hours】Free to explore within the park Visit Date: September 2024 -----------------------------------------------✱

#cityplaybook Just a short ride from Kobe, Akashi is a lovely place to slow down and enjoy a more local side of Hyogo. With historic spots, green spaces, and cute cafés, it’s perfect for a laid-back day trip. I started my day at the Akashi Castle Ruins, where stone walls and wide lawns create a peaceful backdrop. Right next to it is Akashi Park, a spacious area great for walking, people-watching, or just sitting under the trees. I also stopped by Kakinomoto Shrine, a small but beautiful spot tucked into the greenery. Quiet, spiritual, and full of charm—it felt like a hidden gem. To wrap things up, I visited Cafe Makomi and had the peach shaved ice. Fluffy, fruity, and super refreshing. The café itself is cozy and welcoming—exactly what you want at the end of a long walk. Why I recommend Akashi: ・It’s a calm, uncrowded escape with a mix of history and nature ・Local cafés and quiet corners make it ideal for solo travelers or a chill day out 📍Akashi, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan #Akashi #Hyogo #AkashiCastle #SlowTravelJapan #LocalVibes #JapaneseShrines #CaféHopping #PeachShavedIce #DayTripFromKobe #CityGuide

#Spring0yenTrip Akashi is a fascinating city where the sea, history, and science come together. First we visited the ruins of Akashi Castle. Two impressive turrets remain, and as we climbed up to the castle tower from the spacious grassy park, we felt the history breathing in the laid-back air. After that, we went to Uontana Shopping Street. Fresh seafood was lined up, and when we dipped the specialty Akashiyaki in hot soup stock, we couldn't help but smile at the fluffy texture and gentle taste. We also had lively conversations with the local people, and their warmth left a lasting impression on us. We also visited Akashi City Astronomical Science Museum. This is the "Museum of Time and Space" located on the Japanese Standard Time Meridian at 135 degrees east longitude. The planetarium inside the museum is the oldest in Japan, having been in operation since its opening in 1960, and is characterized by live commentary by the curator. In addition, from the observation deck on the 14th floor, we could enjoy a magnificent view of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge and the Seto Inland Sea. Akashi is a city worth visiting, where history, food, and science come together in harmony.

Akashi Castle was built in 1619 and was designated as an important national cultural property in 2004. It was selected as one of the 100 most famous castles in Japan in 2006. It is also one of the 100 most famous cherry blossom spots in Japan! If you visit during the cherry blossom season, there are many cherry blossom trees in the city, and there are also large areas of cherry blossoms in Akashi Park. It is recommended to visit during the cherry blossom season. When you are tired, you can take a break at the cafe in the park. This cafe has a view of Akashi Castle and is a good place to relax. We didn't go up to the city that day because we didn't have enough time. If you have time, you can go up to the castle (free), where you can take photos of the Akashi city area. If the weather is good, you can also see the Seto Inland Sea.

#100WAYS TO TRAVEL #Japan #Hyogo #MAiko #AKASHI #AKISHI fish tent Looking back on my 18-day solo trip to Japan in 2022 when the epidemic was just lifted JR Osaka Station → JR Maiko Station → Maiko Park, Maiko Marine Walk → JR Akashi Station (Akashi) → Uo no Tomo Shopping Street, Akashi Castle Ruins 【Maiko Sea Walking Trail】 From JR Maiko Station or Sanyo Electric Railway Maiko Park Station, walk for about ten minutes after exiting the station. The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge is an important passage connecting Kobe and Awaji Island. It is also the largest suspension bridge in the world. The Maiko Sea Walk is also planned on the pier. You need to purchase tickets to visit. After entering, take the elevator to the eighth floor. The first half of the bridge is On the general walkway, you can see the Akashi Strait through the iron window. The second half is made of tempered glass. When you look down, you can see the Akashi Strait at your feet. People who are afraid of heights must be very scared. 【Yuzhipeng Shopping Street】 Akashi Station is a station jointly constructed by JR and Sanyo Electric Railway. After exiting the station, pass through the building in front of the station and follow the overpass to Uonota shopping street. The shopping street is not long. The whole street has a roof. There are vegetable stalls, fishmongers, snack bars, etc. on both sides of the street. What I am most looking forward to is eating "Akashi Yaki". Akashi Yaki is similar to takoyaki, but the skin is made of egg buns. Yes, you can eat it with mustard, salt or soup stock. I didn’t expect it to be very delicious! ! I still can’t forget it! ! But I was very full after a whole portion by myself, and the portion is very large. 【Akashi Castle Ruins】 It’s about a ten-minute walk from JR Akashi Station. Akashi Castle is surrounded by Akashi Park. I didn’t see if I could walk up to it in the park. Later, when I returned to the station to catch the bus, I was waiting on the platform and turned around to see the ruins of Akashi Castle.

Akashi Castle did not originally have a castle tower, but the precious three-story towers (Tatsumi Tower and Kun Tower), of which only 12 remain in Japan, overlook Akashi Park. During cherry blossom season, the park is crowded with people and there are food stalls and events.

The view from the observation deck at the ruins of Akashi Castle in Hyogo Prefecture is spectacular✨ If you climb the long staircase from Akashi Park, you can see the remains of Ninomaru and Honmaru🌸 There are few cherry blossoms here, but there are various reasons for this, such as to prevent caterpillars from entering the house and grounds, and the fact that the sight of the flowers falling from their necks is considered bad luck. There is an observation deck between the Mishin Tower and the Tatsumi Tower✨ You can see not only Akashi city, but also the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge and Akashi Astronomical Observatory. On a clear day, the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge looks very beautiful🌸✨🌸✨ This is also a good photo spot~✨✨🌸 #Spectacular view #Recommended for a date #Castle
