The venue is covered.
Enjoy your meal while feeling the great nature of Akagi up close.

Two venues to choose from

You can choose from two different types of BBQ locations.
Let's look at them one by one.



Large covered space.
It would be easier to understand if we say that it is like a huge BBQ azumaya that is often seen.
This venue is recommended for groups who want to enjoy a meal in a lively atmosphere.

Please make a reservation at your convenience.
Fees start at ¥3,000 per person.

Ingredients to be prepared at the Aha! BBQ



The BBQ ingredients here are gaining popularity because they are so well prepared.
In particular, Gunma's brand meat ", the "kome-kome" pork ", is excellent.
The meat is juicy and full of umami, and its abura meat melts when grilled.
It has a very elegant taste with a sweetness to the abra.
Aha! BBQ offers 100 grams each of rose and loin.
The set also includes homemade bacon and sausage, assorted fresh vegetables, salad, and rice, making it a very filling meal.



For dessert, we had s'mores, which are marshmallow and chocolate sandwiched between crackers.
The marshmallow should, of course, be scalded over a fire to melt.
It is a great place to prepare everything from salty to sweet.
Soft drinks are unlimited.
Food can also be brought in.
If you have a special food craving at the BBQ, or if you want to eat a lot, consider this.

Services of Aha! BBQ

We can take care of everything from equipment rental, preparation, fire making, and clean up.
Since starting a fire is a task that requires particular familiarity, it is nice to have someone do it for you.
It's great to go empty handed and experience just the fun part.
As for things that would be useful, such as wet wipes, you need to make your own preparations in advance.
Enjoy a casual BBQ.

Food and services that can be prepared at the Soil and Fire Village Park



There are several plans for BBQ here.
Foods and services vary depending on the fee.

Regular Plan

This plan includes everything from equipment rental to advance preparation and cleanup.
If you are looking for a casual, empty-handed experience, this is the best choice.
The set includes a variety of ingredients such as Gunma pork ribs, beef ribs, chicken thighs, frankfurters, vegetables, and seasonings, as well as cutlery.
Fee is ¥8,000

light plan

Basically, the same as the regular plan above.
The difference, however, is that beef is eliminated from the ingredients.
This may be a good amount for a group that does not need a lot of BBQ food, or for a family with small children.
The fee is ¥6,000.

Equipment Rental Plans

This is a simple plan that only requires rental of equipment and location for BBQ.
No food, preparation or clean-up services are provided.
Recommended for groups that want to prepare everything themselves and keep costs down.
The fee is ¥4,000.

Pizza Plan



How about baking an oven-baked pizza for 2,000 yen in addition to the above amount?
It is interesting because we can experience preparing and cooking by ourselves.
The pizza is baked at high temperature and is hot, crispy, and very tasty.
Dough, sauces, cheese, etc. will be provided, so please prepare your favorite toppings separately if you have them.
In addition to this, you can add ingredients, etc.
Decide on a plan that suits your convenience and preferences.

[Midori-shi ]Kodaira no Sato Campsite



The campground is located in a beautiful environment rich in nature.
Located near the gentle flow of the Kodaira River, there is also a space to play in the clean water.
There is also a botanical garden and a limestone cave, where visitors can spend a day without getting bored.
There is a one-day bathing facility "Yuyukan "in the campground, so I recommend taking a relaxing soak in the hot water.
This facility features a wood-burning "moshibi-buro (bath) "that is heated with wood.
Relax in the fragrant and refreshing cypress bathtub.
It is open from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (April to September) or from 7:00 p.m. (October to March) at night, so why not come after a full day of walking and BBQ?



Only barbecue furnaces (pre-installed), charcoal and griddles can be rented here.
Chairs are provided.
The fee is ¥2,150 for a day trip to the campground plus the fee for using the BBQ building.
There is no food, preparation, or clean-up service, but the advantage is that it can be planned at a reasonable cost.




Food, drinks, and cutlery such as plates and chopsticks must be provided.
In addition, I would like to have some bags for organizing trash.
It is also equipped with a clean kitchen, so food that needs to be prepared on the spot is acceptable.
It may be more for intermediate to advanced outdoor enthusiasts, as it requires skills to be able to start a fire.
Nevertheless, if we can get everyone together, even beginners, that's the most fun we can have.
