【Tokyo's Secret Summer Escape! Playing in the Water and BBQ at Akigawa Valley Beats Air Conditioning Any Day!】

Honestly, when Tokyo gets unbearably hot in the summer, Akigawa Valley is a lifesaver! The creek water is clear and cool, stepping in instantly drops the temperature by 10 degrees, making it 100 times more comfortable than staying home with the AC on~ The best part is you can play in the water while having a BBQ! Gather your friends, grill some sausages and corn—the aroma can be smelled from meters away~ There are big trees by the creek providing shade, so no need to worry about getting sunburned. Sitting on the rocks with a cold drink in hand is simply one of life's greatest pleasures! Along the way, there are small streams where kids can play and catch fish, while adults can lie back and relax. It’s a healing paradise far away from the city’s hustle and bustle~ Remember to bring an extra set of clothes, so you don’t have to worry even if you get soaked! Want to escape the heat and try something new this summer? Akigawa Valley is definitely the top choice—just go for it!
