The two large artificial lakes in the center of the park are named `` Ako Lake'' and ``White Lake'', which are named after the ``red'' of the knotweed, which is the origin of Ako 's name, and the ``white'' of salt, which is the symbol of Ako.

Ako-shiAko ruins
Ako Castle is a coastal flat castle built over a period of 13 years starting in 1648 by Ako Asano, the first lord of the Asano family of the Ako domain in Harima Province.
Generally, early modern castles have a rectangular shape with straight lines, but Ako Castle has a very unusual curved outline. It is characterized by a structure with a strong focus on war, such as a moat that bends in a complicated manner, stone walls that draw curves, and gates that follow angles.
