The Showa Kinen Park Barbecue Garden is a great spot for enjoying a cookout in a beautiful natural setting. It's located inside the vast Showa Kinen Park, roughly the size of 40 Tokyo Domes! While you'll need to pay the park's entrance fee, the barbecue area itself offers rentals for equipment and even sells ingredients, so you can come empty-handed. They have a variety of plans available, from basic sets to options with all the trimmings.

Here are some things to keep in mind:

Reservations are required [in Japanese only, but you can likely find a friend to help you navigate the website]. It's the only place in the park where fires are allowed. Public transportation is recommended, as parking can fill up. They do allow barbequing in the rain, but strong winds may force closure. Overall, the Showa Kinen Park Barbecue Garden is a convenient and scenic option for a fun outdoor meal.
