[Ako] Safe sightseeing even by car! Ako Castle ruins

The castle was built by Naganao Asano, and the Honmaru Garden and Ninomaru Garden are currently designated as national scenic spots. Unfortunately, the building no longer exists, but the turret happened to be open to the public, so I was able to climb the gate. There is a free parking lot, so it is a recommended spot for a safe car trip, where you can also stroll around Oishi Shrine and the townscape, with Ako Castle as the center. ✱----------------------------------------------- [Name] Ako Castle Ruins [Location] 1424-1 Kamikariya, Ako City [Opening hours] 09:00-16:30 (Honmaru and Ninomaru Gardens) *Entry until 16:00 [Closed] 12/28-1/4 (Honmaru and Ninomaru Gardens) [Fee] Free [Parking] Available (free) Visit date: April 2024 -----------------------------------------------✱ #Car trip #100 travel styles #Domestic travel #Tourism #Hyogo tourism #Ako #Ako Castle #Ako tourism
