View the medieval mountain castle ruins and restored corner tower, touching Ikeda's history

About this spot

A park developed on the site of Ikeda Castle, which was governed by the Ikeda clan during the Sengoku period. Today, the corner tower has been restored based on the original castle remains, with its white walls and tiled roof beautifully complemented by the autumn blue sky. From the elevated hill of the castle ruins, you can overlook the Ikeda city streets, experiencing the town from a different angle than Satsukiyama Park. Historical information panels are also installed, making it ideal to walk around imagining how the castle looked back then, even with children. The free admission is also appealing, allowing for a casual visit.

Fireworks details

Name: 猪名川花火大会

Date & time: 11/7 (Sat) 18:00–18:30

Venue: 池田市・猪名川河川敷

猪名川花火大会は、池田市の猪名川河川敷を会場に開催される秋の花火大会です。11月の夜空に打ち上がる花火は、夏の大会とはひと味違う凛とした空気の中で楽しめるのが特別な魅力。川面に映る光の揺らぎと、秋の澄んだ夜気に響く打ち上げ音が河川敷を包みます。夏とは異なり観客が比較的ゆったりと観覧できる雰囲気も、秋の花火大会ならではです。短い打ち上げ時間の中に凝縮された光と音の競演を、川風を感じながら楽しみましょう。

Tips

開催可否は荒天時に変更となる場合があるため、当日は主催者の公式情報を必ず確認してください。終了後は最寄りの阪急池田駅に向かう人で混雑するため、しばらく河川敷で余韻を楽しんでから移動する時間差帰宅がおすすめです。足元が暗い場所もあるため、帰り道は小型ライトを活用してください。

Tips

Within walking distance from Satsukiyama Park. Admission is free. The castle ruins area has uneven terrain, so watch your footing. In autumn evenings, the sun sets early—after 4 PM, it becomes dark, so complete your visit while there's still light and head toward the river bank area.
