To enjoy summer, I went to Akigawa Valley in Akiruno City, Tokyo to enjoy a tent sauna. I set up the tent sauna and BBQ right in front of the river and was ready to go. After entering the sauna, I cooled my hot body in the Akigawa River and relaxed while listening to the sound of the river babbling. It was the best. It also included the ultimate sauna meal of BBQ if I got hungry. There is also a hot spring nearby, so I recommend that too! It was a day where I was able to experience nature at 120%. #Tokyo #Okutama #Akigawa Valley #Forest Bathing #Tent Sauna #Sauna #Breathtaking View

Recently, the temperature in Tokyo has been extremely high, making it unbearable to go outside. I wanted to find a place where I could enjoy riverbed cuisine and cool off, just like at Kyoto's Kibune Shrine. So! I discovered Akigawa Valley, about 60 kilometers and an hour's drive from Shinjuku, where you can reach the fresh and cool nature. Initially, I planned to sit on the terrace facing the valley and eat shaved ice 🍧, but due to the long queue, I made a reservation for kaiseki cuisine at Kurochaya in advance. Happily finished eating indoors, and then went stream climbing as soon as I stepped out! The stream water was very cold, with pebbles of various sizes underfoot. The girls who had just entered the water nearby were all screaming in pain (including me, haha). A gentle breeze blew through the valley, and there was a group of people laughing and playing in the water. This scene really felt like summer in an anime!
