No summer is complete without a barbecue, ideally one held outside in the company of friends and family.
Grabbing your own grill and heading out to your preferred park, public space or spot covered by a bridge is the traditional way to approach barbecuing, but in recent years, new spaces to barbecue in Tokyo and its surrounding areas have popped up for people of all grilling levels. Some of them simply provide a space with a view, while others offer all the meat, vegetables and drinks you need to have a good time (for a price, of course).
One of the newest additions to the premium Tokyo grilling circuit sits atop Aqua City Odaiba. Weber Park aims to transform grilling into "edutainment" via a Grill Academy where instructors teach visitors how to perfectly cook a burger or chicken using the titular American barbecue. The experience is optimal for beginners, but veterans can skip the lessons and indulge themselves by using the venue's rental grills. Views of Rainbow Bridge add to the experience.
