Akashi Castle Tower

This beautifully manicured park is a great place to go for a stroll around greenery. There is alot to see around the park & there is a playground for children. The castle grounds were located here. Alot of it is no longer standing but part of the castle wall & a tower is still standing. From the top of the park where the tower is, you can see a great view of Akashi Bridge.
