There are stone benches on the north side of the East Exit. Nearby, you'll find an object of Akashi's famous octopus.
Also in this rotary, there are many simple metal benches where people sit while waiting for pick-up and drop-off.
As a side note, the West Exit, a short distance away, offers access to the Shinkansen, but it doesn't seem to have any benches or rest areas.
