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

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 -----------------------------------------------✱

#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.
