  • 5/5 うり坊 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I used to make a fool of a reinforced concrete castle, but its size and beauty are wonderful. Compared to the former Amagasaki power plant of Hanshin Electric Railway in the north, it is architecturally worthless, but I noticed that it is not comparable. In the castle, you can know and experience Amagasaki in the Edo period. Unfortunately, there are no historical materials and academic expectations cannot be expected. It is a new symbol of Amagasaki and an opportunity to get interested in the history of Amagasaki. As for historical materials, drawings, armor, and swords are exhibited at the Amagasaki Kaikan. There is also the Amagasaki City Historical Museum, which opened in October 2nd year of Reiwa, but as far as the homepage is concerned, we cannot expect much. The disregard for cultural properties in Amagasaki City has been seen as having no museum, dismantling the former Amagasaki police station, and being reluctant to preserve the Unitika Memorial Hall. The donation of Amagasaki Castle by Mr. Anbo may be a protest against the city's cultural policy. (Original) 鉄筋コンクリートの城と馬鹿にしていたが、その大きさと美しさは素晴らしい。北にある阪神電鉄旧尼崎発電所に比べると建築的には無価値だが、比べる物でないことに気が付きました。 城内では江戸時代の尼崎を知り、体験できます。残念ながら歴史資料は皆無で学術的な期待は出来ません。あくまで尼崎の歴史に関心を持つ切っ掛けと新しい尼崎のシンボルです。 歴史資料は尼信会館に絵図や甲冑、刀剣が展示されています、令和2年10月にオープンした尼崎市立歴史博物館もありますが、ホムページを見た限りではあまり期待ができません。 尼崎市の文化財軽視は今まで博物館が無かったり、旧尼崎警察署の解体、ユニチカ記念館の保存に消極的などに見られます。安保詮氏の尼崎城の寄贈は市の文化政策に対する抗議かもしれません。

    So far this has been my favorite castle in Japan. Even though it's smaller in size than most castles it is amazing. By far the most professional and helpful staff of any castle that I have visited. They are super friendly and very accommodating to make sure you enjoy your tour. There is two parks right next door for the children to play and the castle is a short 7-minute walk from the metro station.

    very clean very nice arranged attractions. Service staffs are very friendly and very informative. We have good time to take the elevator to the top floor and slowly walked down each floor has different features. We watched the video in a theater (it has English subtitles). One can try ninja uniform and feel the strike of a sword and that was fun. Washroom is very clean and nice!

    (Translated by Google) I thought it was a well-thought-out facility on this scale. 5 stories Each floor will not get tired of elaborate taste. Volunteer students were also knowledgeable, friendly and pleasant. It is a symbol of the citizens who love Amagasaki. (Original) この規模で良く考えられた施設だと思いました。5階建て各フロア趣向を凝らして飽きません。ボランティアの学生さんも知識豊富ですし愛想も良く気持ちの良い対応でした。尼崎を愛する市民のシンボルです。

  • 5/5 HedgeHodge �. 11 months ago on Google • 607 reviews
    Amagasaki castle is located in Hyogo Prefecture and was the first place I visited during my Golden Week holiday. The castle is located right next to Amagasaki train station on the Hanshin line, so it’s very easy to reach. This reconstruction was built in 2018 and was done extremely well. There is a very nice recreation area outside the castle and lots of good angles for photos of the castle. The inside is 500 yen for adults and has 5 floors with museum exhibits, inactive exhibits, an observation deck, and small gift shop. Staff was extremely pleasant. Definitely make a stop if you’re in Osaka and have free time. My only problem was the lack of english descriptions. I had to research the castle after I left to know it’s history. Given it’s a small castle and newly built, I can understand the lack of English. It’s definitely not mentioned in most tourist sites.

    Not a historical building. It's a kind of memorial amusement park.This park was opened on March 2019. There was a real castle here 150 years ago. I went here 10 pm. It's quiet and peaceful. There is a public toilet in this park. The toilet is clean.There is also a small Aerial Adventure Park. No one is here in the night. You can occupy and enjoy the Aerial Adventure Park enough.

    It is a small castle. It was rebuilt in March 2019. It is made of concrete, but has some wood inside. You cannot compare it with the big castles. However, it is a nice place to spend an hour. There are some things for kids inside. They can dress up, touch a replica gun, and play some games. The grounds are small but clean. It is a nice place to sit and read a book. If you are in the area, it is worth a visit. However, if you are in Japan for a short time, there are bigger and better things to do.

    Was a good experience. The staff are really personable and easy to share a laugh with. The castle is new but does well to retain the atmosphere of old Japan. It also has a really fun musket shooter and samurai slash game for you to try.

  • 2/5 Oda C. 1 year ago on Google
    I really wanted to like this castle because I've heard great things but I didn't like it. They have no English pamphlets or info, its filled with signs that say no pictures but then there are photo spots(?), their postcards are expensive and there is a lot of waiting for activities. I did like the staff's outfits and the view from the top floor of the castle.

    (Translated by Google) It's not a historic building, but it's new and full of ingenuity. Shooting games where you can learn words related to history are the most popular. I haven't seen many other corners where you can experience the weight of swords and guns, even if they are sober. You can also enjoy the corner where you can wear a helmet or dress up as a ninja for just the entrance fee. (Original) 歴史的な建物ではないが、新しいだけに楽しませる工夫がいっぱい。歴史にちなんだ言葉が学べるシューティングゲームが一番人気。地味なものでも刀や鉄砲の重さを体感できるコーナーはほかであまり見たことがない。兜をかぶったり、忍者の扮装したりするコーナーも入城料だけで楽しめる

    (Translated by Google) A castle that is said to have been built based on old materials in March 2019 The original position of Amagasaki Castle Honmaru is The location is different because it is the "Amagasaki City Museum (old school)". A very beautiful castle made with a quadruple castle tower. Shooting area for the third floor impersonator experience, You can experience playing such as VR theater on the second floor (Since it is also in the castles of other prefectures, is it the future standard?) Before coming to see Amagasaki Castle, at the nearby "Amagasaki City Museum" It is recommended that you look at the materials and exhibits once. The exterior is messed up, but Because there are few historical exhibits ... Because there is space inside the venue Will it gradually increase? (November 2nd year of Reiwa) 〇 Impression) There are sites where events can be held, such as the castle, surrounding parks, and lawns. Inside the castle that will leave room for expansion (exhibits, etc.) in the future What will happen? I have high expectations. ■ <About the facility (excerpt from the official website)> Free admission on the 1st floor, admission (500 yen) on the 2nd to 5th floors Take the elevator to the 5th floor and go down the stairs "5F Observatory" You can see the cityscape of Amagasaki. Reproduce the castle town of the Edo period on a tablet terminal "4F" Introduction of castles nationwide "3F; Narikiri Experience" You can choose from kimono, ninja, and jinbaori to take pictures.

    (Translated by Google) There is a charge to enter the castle The square in front of the castle is quite large, but it's very beautiful. It was a nice atmosphere with families eating lunch on the bench. There are playground equipment on the back of the castle, so you can spend a relaxing time.

  • 5/5 若松慎吾 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is a newly built restored castle near Amagasaki Station. It seems that there was nothing before and there was only a monument. It is a castle tower that has been revived to the present day by a famous local investor, and it is a perfect castle tower that is a symbol of the city. Amagasaki Castle was also a place related to Araki Murashige of Arioka Castle. (Original) 尼崎駅近くに有る、建てられて間もない復元のお城です。 以前は何も無く碑だけ有るだけだったそうです。 現地のある有名な出資者の方の手により現代に蘇った天守閣で、街のシンボルでも申し分も無い天守閣です。 尼崎城は有岡城の荒木村重ゆかりの地でも有りました。

  • 4/5 frank r. 4 months ago on Google • 118 reviews
    Amagasaki Castle is very to visit. It is about a 5-6 minute walk from the Hanshin Amagasaki train station. Just exit the building to the south (ocean side), turn left (east), walk parallel to the train tracks, cross over the river and you basically are there. The outside of the castle is fantastic, the inside has been remodeled and updated. While it is very clean and well organized on the inside, you will see little on the original architecture. After entering and paying a 500 yen adult fee you take the elevator to the 5th floor for an excellent view of the surrounding city. You then walk down to the 4th floor and view some paintings of other castles. On 3 you get a change to dress up trying on ancient clothes and armor. The 2nd floor is very nice as there is a special room showing a virtual reality view of the entire original castle complex. Very impressive. On the 1st floor is some historical information before exiting the building.

    A really nice experience that took less than an hour to complete. There's interactive VR stuff and you can also hold some weapons in certain areas. There's another area where you can dress up like a warrior as well. Really close to the station. Worth the ¥500 price

  • 4/5 Johannes 11 months ago on Google • 65 reviews
    A beautiful castle from outside with very modern and clean premises. It wasn’t busy at all and we could take all the time we wanted and try all the activities. It’s ¥500 entry for an adult and you start at the 5th floor and move your way down. This is a 30 min stroll if you take your time to try everything but it’s more suited for children than adults.

    It wasn't busy at all when we went and unfortunately there was no staff to guide us on the costume activity at level 3. There were very friendly helpful staff attending at the other levels though so overall it was quite a pleasant experience.
