At the southernmost tip of Toyosu Pier, within the Toyosu Gururi Park, there is a barbecue facility called "Toyosu Gururi Park Tebura BBQ Hiroba." I went there with some friends for a barbecue, despite the scorching hot days. Summer is just perfect for barbecue, right? The location in Toyosu is amazing, with views of Tokyo Bay, Rainbow Bridge, Tokyo Tower, Skytree, and more. It's a wonderful spot to enjoy a barbecue with everything you need provided - tents, stoves, charcoal, grills, aluminum plates, coolers, and even the option to order food and drinks. You can literally show up empty-handed and enjoy a barbecue. However, bringing your own food and drinks is also allowed. Nearby at Ariake Garden's Aeon Style, you can get meat, fish, vegetables, and of course, don't forget the alcohol. The site offers family sites for up to 6 people, regular sites for up to 10 people, and party sites for around 20 people. In addition to barbecue, you can also enjoy day camping. During the summer operating season from May to October on weekends and holidays, there are two sessions available: "Daytime 10:00-14:00" and "Sunset Time 15:00-19:00." In the winter season (November to April) and on weekdays, there is only one session from "Daytime 11:00-16:00." We reserved the "Sunset Time" slot and used the family site for 4 people. With food and drinks, it cost around ¥7,000, which is quite reasonable for a barbecue experience in the city center. As a BBQ enthusiast, I was thrilled. The staff provided excellent service, even adding soy sauce to the corn we were grilling without asking, saying "Corn on the grill needs soy sauce, right?" They were also happy to take photos for us. The location was fantastic, the barbecue experience was enjoyable, and before we knew it, it was over. Although it was still bright at 7 pm during this season, we were able to enjoy the amazing sunset. This spot is perfect for a carefree barbecue experience in the city center. I definitely want to come back before summer ends.
