2026 Akigawa Bridge River Park BBQ Land (秋川橋河川公園バーベキューランド): A Full-Day Course

This full-day course centers on Akigawa Bridge River Park BBQ Land (秋川橋河川公園バーベキューランド) in the Akigawa Valley, Akiruno City. It's open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with no closing days during the summer season from July 20 to August 31; outside that period, it's closed on Tuesdays (or Wednesdays if Tuesday is a public holiday). In the morning, start off slowly at JA Akigawa Itsukaichi Farmers Center Aina (JAあきがわ五日市ファーマーズセンター あいな), browsing local vegetables and specialty products, then have lunch and take a break at Akigawa Valley Seotonoyu (秋川渓谷 瀬音の湯). Once you've filled up, head to the riverbank, where the afternoon's climax awaits: river play at Akigawa Bridge River Park BBQ Land (秋川橋河川公園バーベキューランド). Enjoy river play unique to the valley — splashing in the clear, shallow current and crossing stones. Since the water is cold, it's best to play plenty during the hours when the sun is out. A barbecue facility is also attached, so you can eat and take breaks between water play sessions. This is a perfect day for families who want to relax and unwind in nature.
