There is a barbecue place here where you can enjoy a barbecue for 5000 yen without bringing anything. They offer fresh vegetables, tasty chunks of meat, and other solid menu items. You can also bring simple vegetables or onigiri from home for a satisfying barbecue style. Since the store is right next to it, you can also order drinks and other items. It's a hidden gem!

"Fureai Hiroba Restaurant @ Tachikawa - 'Iced Tea' 'Cosmos Lemon Tart' This restaurant is located inside the Tachikawa Showa Memorial Park. I discovered a special dessert for the cosmos season - a lemon-flavored tart. Despite the refreshing lemon flavor, it had a slightly heavy sweetness, and the addition of ice made it a bit too rich. The cosmos decoration was cute, but it seemed more for visual appeal as they didn't appear to be edible. I felt a bit guilty about that. Thank you for the meal. Recommended: ★☆☆☆☆ By the way, I originally came to the park to see the fragrant olive, but the timing wasn't right... Instead, I was able to see the cosmos in full bloom, so it was still a good visit. #FureaiHirobaRestaurant #TachikawaShowaMemorialPark #ShowaMemorialParkGourmet #ShowaMemorialParkCosmosFestival #ShowaMemorialParkCafe #ShowaMemorialPark #TachikawaGourmet #TachikawaCafe #TachikawaSweets #Tachikawa #CosmosTart #LemonTart #Tart #Sweets #Cafe #TeaTime #Wakameshi #Wakameshi_Tachikawa"

This is a self-service cafeteria in the Showa Memorial Park in Tachikawa, where you buy a food ticket and are automatically called to pick up your order. It was the last day of Golden Week, and the park was empty, so we were able to find a seat right away even though it was quite late at 1:30 pm. The restaurant has indoor seating, as well as outdoor terrace seating and tables under tarps on the grass outside. You can even bring a picnic blanket and eat on the grass if you prefer. There are about 5 restaurants in the park, along with shops and food stalls, so you won't have trouble finding lunch unless it's really crowded. Despite some mixed reviews online, we decided to visit without high expectations. My daughter wanted pizza, so we went to the "Fureai Hiroba Restaurant." My wife ordered a Margherita pizza set with draft beer, which was a great deal at half price compared to ordering separately. My daughter had the "Spring Color Pizza," which was loaded with vegetables and a good value for the price. I had the roast beef bowl, which was surprisingly delicious. The pizza was baked in an oven, probably an electric one, and had a crispy crust with plenty of cheese on the Margherita. The Spring Color Pizza had large asparagus and broccoli, making it a healthy and filling option. The view of the grassy square from inside the restaurant was excellent, and the food was surprisingly tasty for a self-service style restaurant. Overall, we were very satisfied with the quality of the food and the reasonable prices.

"On 22/02, I visited a restaurant for lunch with my friend over the weekend. We decided to visit a place where we could have a proper meal, not just snacks. We found a restaurant called "Lakeside Restaurant" which specializes in rice bowls and noodles. We parked our car at Tachikawa-guchi and arrived at the restaurant around noon. The menu had a variety of options, including oven-baked pizzas which had a waiting time of 20-30 minutes. My friend ordered Vongole pasta with Calpis soda, while I went for the classic Meat Sauce pasta with Melon soda. Each dish cost 900 yen, plus an additional 250 yen for the drinks. Similar to a highway rest stop, we paid at a ticket machine and waited for our number to be called. The area around the monitor was crowded, so my friend saved us a table while I picked up our drinks. We waited for our pasta to be ready. I noticed they had powdered cheese and Tabasco sauce available, showing their attention to detail. When our number was called, I picked up our dishes which came with plastic forks and paper plates. Despite not having high expectations, the food was surprisingly delicious. The portion size was a bit small for adult men, but the cleanliness and the staff's service left a good impression. The green color of the Melon soda was beautiful and nostalgic. As there were people waiting outside, we quickly finished our meal and left the restaurant. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience. Thank you for the meal!"

23.9.21 Went to see the cosmos flowers at Showa Memorial Park with my dog. However, we realized we had entered the wrong entrance and had to walk quite a bit to get there. So, we decided to take a leisurely stroll around instead. Along the way, we stopped for lunch at this place. Since I was with my dog, we decided to order at the counter and eat at the grassy seating area. We ordered the roast beef bowl for 1040 yen including tax, the large size for 1150 yen, and the Kanazawa-style pork cutlet curry for 1000 yen. It took 6 minutes for our food to be served. I wasn't very hungry, so I just had a little taste. The roast beef slices were tender and went well with the rice, and the seasoning was good, making it delicious. It also came with fresh vegetables and a warm egg, making it a satisfying bowl. ★3.5 The value for money index is 1180 yen divided by 1040 yen, which is 1.13, quite reasonable. The pork cutlet curry seemed to be frozen (unconfirmed) and had a neat form. The curry sauce was rich and thick. I don't dislike it. Kanazawa-style pork cutlet curry? When I looked it up, it seemed to be a type of curry from Kanazawa. * It has a deep color close to black, with a thick texture. * It is served in a stainless steel boat-shaped dish. * It is eaten with a fork (or a spoon with a split end). * Unlike typical pork cutlet curry, the pork cutlet is placed on top of the curry, with sauce poured over it. * Shredded cabbage is served on the side. Wikipedia Well, it doesn't quite match up. Maybe just in terms of color and shredded cabbage. ^ ^ Well, it was reasonably tasty. ★3.3 The value for money index is 900 yen divided by 1000 yen, which is 0.9. A little cheaper would have been nice~ Under the blue sky, we enjoyed a relaxing holiday lunch with my dog~ Thank you for the meal!

When dining in Showa Memorial Park, this restaurant is highly recommended! Located right inside the park, you may not feel hungry at just the right time to walk and have a meal, but if you want to enjoy a delicious meal, this restaurant is the best choice. The setting is like a camp with Coleman tents, low tables, and chairs on the grass. On this day, I ordered the Shira-nee Pizza with Kujo green onions for ¥1,100. The pizza had a sweet tomato sauce with crispy shirasu and fresh green onions, and the crust had a nice crispy texture. I also tried the Bone-in Chicken and Chunky Vegetable Soup Curry with Naan for ¥1,120, which was quite delicious. The slightly spicy soup with well-seasoned chicken and seasonal vegetables was perfect for the chilly rainy day. The paprika in the soup was particularly tasty. I never expected to find kettle-baked pizza in the park, but it was surprisingly delicious! I would definitely visit again if I have the chance. Thank you for the meal!

The spacious grounds and popular cycling course and boat pond of the national Showa Memorial Park. Inside is this interaction plaza restaurant. At first glance, it looks like a typical park kiosk. I met up with friends at the park and heard that the pizza at this restaurant is delicious, so I came to try it out. When I entered the store, I was surprised. They were actually hand-stretching the pizza dough!! There was a proper pizza oven as well. I had expected the typical mass-produced, frozen pizza you might find at a science museum cafe. Instead, each pizza was made to order, so it took about 20 minutes before we were served. First, we tried the "Margherita" (710 yen). It was generously topped with cheese, and the crust was crispy. The tomato flavor was also strong, making it quite tasty. For 710 yen, it was definitely worth it! The second pizza was the "Lemon Pizza" (800 yen). The slices of lemon covering the entire pizza gave it a nice touch. The bitterness of the peel and the sourness of the flesh paired well with the cheese, giving it an adult-like atmosphere. The pizza was great, but the "Kids Udon" (510 yen) was just average. Not worth the price. If you're going to pay 510 yen for kids udon, definitely choose the pizza instead! The "Fried Chicken" (560 yen) was as expected. A familiar frozen import with an emphasis on quantity over quality. The taste was okay, but for 560 yen, it's still better to order the pizza. The restaurant also offers other enticing items like Tandoori Chicken and Naan set, and Roast Beef Bowl. The menu seems hit or miss, so be careful with your selection. But overall, the handcrafted pizzas were delicious. I'll attach photos of the menu as a reminder. Revisit value: ★★★ Would definitely go back.

During the three-day weekend in November 2020, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, I decided to visit Showa Kinen Park to see the autumn leaves, thinking that it wouldn't be crowded enough to pose a risk. The weather was great and there were quite a lot of people. When I arrived around 11:30 am, the restaurant was almost full. I quickly purchased my meal ticket from the vending machine. The pricing was interesting - for example, a Margherita pizza was 710 yen as a single item, but if you got it in a set with a draft beer and salad, it was 1,020 yen. The beer was 600 yen and the salad was 310 yen, so buying them separately would cost 1,620 yen, but in the set, you save 600 yen. That means the beer is basically free. I decided to get the beer set with Margherita pizza, along with some fried chicken for 560 yen and fried potatoes for 410 yen. Each ticket had a number, and when that number appeared on the display above the kitchen, it meant your order was ready. You would exchange your ticket for the food. Just like at Matsuya with gyudon, half of the ticket served as a receipt, which they would tear off and give back to you. The chicken, potatoes, and salad were ready quickly, but the pizza took a bit longer as it was baked in a special oven. When I went to pick it up, the hot pizza was ready. It was quite large, with tomato sauce, mozzarella, and basil - a true Margherita. The crust was thin but chewy and delicious. For a pizza you can eat in a park, it was quite satisfying. After a relaxing meal and a full stomach, I strolled around the park. Thanks to this pizza, my holiday was truly enjoyable. Thank you for the meal.

In early September, the Showa Memorial Park is covered in greenery. Near the entrance of this park, there is a restaurant. The menu mainly consists of Western dishes such as pasta, hamburgers, and curry. On this day, I wasn't very hungry, so I was drawn to the light and refreshing pasta menu rather than heavy dishes like curry. I ordered the Spaghetti Vongole. I bought a meal ticket and it was ready in about 5 minutes. I felt that it was likely pre-made pasta lightly cooked. My intuition turned out to be correct, as the appearance, texture, and taste all resembled pre-made pasta. However, it was decently delicious. The prices are a bit high for a restaurant in a tourist spot, but it's nice to be able to enjoy Western food in a place surrounded by a vast grassy field.

On Thursdays, I strolled around Showa Kinen Park with GW. So, I decided to stop by the "Fureai Hiroba Restaurant" for a little interaction. This place can be used as a regular restaurant, but they also have a take-out window. This time, I bought the "Premium Amaou Strawberry" for 400 yen. I tried it and it was delicious, not exactly premium but still very tasty. I hope to have the chance to sit down and enjoy it in the restaurant next time.

Today, I went cycling with my child at Showa Kinen Park. We were looking for a place to eat after playing around and getting hungry. We found this restaurant where there was a line outside, but it turned out to be for takeout. There were still seats available inside! We bought our meal tickets from the vending machine and when our ticket number appeared on the electronic board, we went to pick up our food. I ordered the "Eggplant Dry Curry with Cheese, Large Size" (1060 yen) and it was hot and delicious with a good amount of cheese. I cracked the half-boiled egg in the middle and it was really tasty. My child ordered the "Tarako (Cod Roe) Japanese-style Spaghetti" (750 yen) and it took quite a while for the pasta to arrive even after my child finished eating. There were many people waiting for their pasta, so it seems like it was very popular. The vending machine accepted PASMO and Suica cards, so we didn't need to use coins.

The male staff member was spinning and stretching the pizza dough in the air, and it baked up deliciously. It was firmer than I had imagined. Thank you for the meal.

My wife requested to see the autumn leaves at Showa Kinen Park after many years. Without any prior research, we headed straight to a restaurant near Tachikawa Gate called Fureai Hiroba. I ordered the 1100 yen Gorgonzola pizza without any expectations. To my surprise, it surpassed many pizza places near my home in terms of deliciousness. The crust was thin but chewy, perfect for Japanese taste. It embraced the distinct flavor of Gorgonzola cheese. Although the price was reasonable, it was not overloaded with cheese and toppings, but it was a satisfying pizza. I didn't take any photos because I wasn't expecting much. It was great to have my dog with me, and the grassy table was a nice touch. Thank you for the meal!

"The usual Margherita pizza and draft beer set. It's great to lay out a picnic sheet outside!"

I had a very casual but very carefully baked Margherita pizza and Kanazawa pork cutlet curry, both were delicious.

On a clear winter day, spend a leisurely afternoon at Showa Memorial Park in Tachikawa. This park offers enjoyment of nature throughout the seasons. After strolling through the park, take a break at the restaurant in the plaza for a coffee break. It's a self-service system inside. Receive your coffee (300 yen) and find a seat. Outside the large windows, there is a grassy plaza. The taste may not be exceptional, but enjoying a coffee in the sunshine is quite pleasant.

GW includes a ticket booth. The food is top-notch. It's unavoidable to wait in line to enter. Finally, at the prepaid register, in order of order and payment. The cashier asked, "Is your seat secured?" Just as I was about to secure it, an elderly person who was about to line up at the register beat me to it. Then the cashier, after informing the person who was using a four-person seat for two people, kindly separated the seats for us. It was appreciated. However, it would be nice if they had written somewhere to reserve seats in advance. People who were familiar seemed to have reserved seats, but those who were not, like us, seemed to be scrambling. It was the busiest until a little after 1 o'clock. After that, there were empty seats. However, the balance between the register, cleaning up, and serving food was not good, so the line was still long. There seems to be room for improvement. I had the one-plate lunch set with bread, which cost about 1000 yen. It took quite a while for the food to arrive (self-service), but it was nice that the soup was served warm. Thank you for the meal. To the staff, thank you for your hard work.
