That was part of the selection criteria, 50 billion yen per ship or approx. 500 million US dollars.

Beautiful ship...though I do not know if I would call is the Akizuki "successor".
More of an ASW oriented follow-on.
They may have sacrificed some of the inherent battle management capabilities for air defense with strong ASW, and still maintained a strong air defense capability.
So, you have a vessel that looks a lot like an Akizuki, less the aft facing phased arrays near the hanger...but with the same number of VLS.
They only plan two of these vessels too.
So, four AAW-centric Akizukis followed by two ASW-centric Asahis
