Visited for the second time in decades on June 6, 2022! A large building with a river running through the middle, with private rooms on either side. Ordered the Taste Pride Grilled Set for 4565 yen and added Grilled Yamame Skewers for 671 yen. Non-alcoholic beer is a must! When the charcoal is lit by the staff, bird chirping sounds signal the arrival of the dishes. Opening the window, we saw the Miso-Dengaku and mini salad being brought in on a boat. The water fountain effect from the river bottom lifting a plastic board to stop the boat was impressive! The Fukufuku Tofu Hot Pot, a house specialty, was delicious. The tofu in a soup of equal parts soy milk and dashi was rich and flavorful. The grilled items included baby corn, bell peppers, grilled whole sea bream skewers, quail skewers, shrimp skewers, chicken meatballs skewers, sausage with bones, and grilled yamame skewers. The well-balanced course of meat, seafood, and vegetables made for an enjoyable grilling experience. The meal ended with refreshing green tea soba noodles. Escaping the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, dining in a charming traditional building with a hearth grill was a delightful experience. Thank you for the feast!

I was looking up dinner options and came across a restaurant where the food is served on a boat, which caught my attention. The interior of the restaurant is surrounded by nature, with a waterfall and the sound of flowing water, creating a very pleasant atmosphere. It feels like a unique experience, and I imagine it would be fun for children as well. The jumbo shrimp was delicious with a thick texture. Overall, the food was tasty and I would like to visit again. One downside is that the restaurant is located deep in the mountains, so there were occasionally dead insects and bugs wandering around inside the room. It's a natural setting, so be prepared to possibly encounter insects. Also, although the air conditioning is on, the charcoal grill can make the place extremely hot, so I wouldn't recommend going in the summer. It's honestly very hot, so dress lightly when visiting.

In a small boat, dishes are carried down the river? "Hinadori Mountain" in Hachioji is a gourmet restaurant where you can grill fish and meat over a hearth. What's amazing about this place is that the private rooms are sunken kotatsu-style with glass windows that open up to a river?! Dishes flow in from there, isn't that incredible?! They offer a variety of amusement lunch menus, with grilled fish and meat skewers cooked over the hearth. Their specialty is tofu hot pot, which is delicious and fun to cook yourself. This longstanding restaurant is recommended for families and couples.

The tofu hot pot with delicious sauce is excellent, and the broth is also very good. The location is fantastic, dining on a boat is a unique experience. It was heartwarming to be able to bring my children to the place where I went with my now deceased parents decades ago. However, the reception building is not well organized, and the service is a bit sloppy, possibly due to understaffing. Despite this, it is still a good place to visit, but I hope they can make some improvements.

It's recommended for a lively group outing. It can get quite hot in the summer because you can't turn on the ventilation fan while cooking at the table. It would be nice to have fans or something. So, I think autumn would be the best time to go. You can order dishes individually, but when the food arrives, the presentation is so elaborate that you can't tell what is what haha.

Eating around a hearth is a great experience. The charcoal-grilled local chicken and river fish are delicious. The atmosphere of the traditional inn adds to the charm, and the fun of having dishes brought to you on a boat makes it a great place for a family outing or a date. You can also arrange for a pick-up from the nearest station with a reservation in advance.

The shop has a really charming atmosphere. It's been a while since I've seen such a big water wheel. The items we ordered are delivered using a lane that flows like a river! We had a seafood course full of amusement. It was fun to grill skewers ourselves at the hearth. We ate slowly and ended up very full! The jumbo shrimp skewer is a must-try. It's delicious, and all the rooms are private, so you don't have to worry about other people's eyes. It's a bit far from the station, but they offer a shuttle service (about 10 minutes one way to Minamiosawa Station), so it's very convenient. I definitely want to visit again!!

This was my first time visiting this restaurant. As expected from a place specializing in chicken, the chicken meat was delicious! The course I ordered included grilled sweetfish, sea bream skewers, red shrimp skewers, vegetable skewers, and chicken skewers. Before the grilled dishes, we were served hot tofu and a sashimi platter (tuna and salmon). After the skewers, we could choose from options like soba noodles. The hot tofu was not the usual kind, it was served in a pot and tasted quite good. The sashimi was at the level you would expect from a chain izakaya. The sweetfish was farm-raised. We grilled fish, meat, and vegetables at the private hearth table, but the grill was still dirty from the previous customers, with chunks of meat stuck to it and residue from previous grilling. The room started getting hot, so we turned on the air conditioning, but it was dirty with black dust-like particles falling and water-like substance dripping. The ceiling light was also covered in dust, indicating a lack of cleaning. Considering the price was on the higher side, I wished they paid more attention to cleanliness. The restaurant is quite far from the station, and while they offer a shuttle bus by reservation, if you are even slightly late for the pick-up time, they leave without you. If you miss the shuttle on the way there, the return trip will be automatically canceled, and you will have to pay around 2500 yen for a taxi one way. They require reservations for each customer, so this system seemed unreasonable to me.

I went to Hina Toriyama, a Showa retro-style restaurant! When I arrived at the shop, it was like a Ryugu Castle with a Showa retro-style building. There was even a water wheel! The rooms were private and the food was brought in by boat. The bird course included chicken, vegetables, tofu hot pot, and a choice of okayu or yakisoba at the end. The freshly grilled chicken skewers were incredibly delicious! Hina Toriyama is highly recommended for celebrations or special occasions due to its nostalgic atmosphere.

A friend took me there, and it had a nice atmosphere with dishes flowing in. You can enjoy your meal in a private room. It may not be recommended for those who find it troublesome to grill their own food, but it was fun to have a meal like playing at a yakitori restaurant. Since it has a hearth, your face may get hot and your makeup might come off, so it may not be suitable for those who don't want their makeup to be ruined.

Hinadori-yama is a boat restaurant in Hachioji where the food is brought to you on the boat. We went with a group of 10, including kids, but the private room made it easy and enjoyable. The food was delicious and the experience was great. It's possible because it's in Hachioji, not something you'd find in Tokyo. The place is spacious and offers great value for the price. They have a parking lot for 100 cars, and if you plan on drinking, you can arrange for a shuttle service in advance. When we called, the place was already fully booked, so it's better to make reservations early. Child-friendly features: cutlery and dishes provided, kids' menu available, complete privacy in the room, entertainment on the boat.

A few years ago, I visited this restaurant a few times and decided to drive there again after a long time. Although there is a shuttle service from Minamiosawa Station, I found out the day before that it was fully booked and difficult to arrange. So, if you need the shuttle service, make sure to reserve well in advance! When I arrived at the restaurant, it was crowded due to the year-end season, and there was a time limit set for each room. All the rooms are private (not soundproof, but separated as a space), making it a great choice for family gatherings with relatives! Compared to my visit about 4 years ago, I noticed some changes. The foot bath was no longer available, and when I tried to buy dressing as a souvenir, I was told they didn't have it anymore (they were selling kimchi and other items). However, the stamp card system had not changed at all, and it seemed like the air conditioning had been improved. Previously, the rooms were very hot, so even though I went in wearing short sleeves, it was indeed quite hot at first, but it became comfortable later on, maybe due to the ventilation fan! The quality of the food had not changed and remained consistently delicious. What I had: Hinadori-yaki (grilled young chicken) course for ¥3820, which included miso-dengaku, mini salad, Fuku-Fuku tofu hot pot, Irori-yaki (grilled young chicken skewers, tsukune skewers, grilled vegetables), and a choice of rice or noodles (I chose the hot pot udon). I also added extra skewers (yamame, ayu, scallop, and tsubugai). The portion size was just right! Personally, I loved the Fuku-Fuku tofu hot pot, grilled young chicken skewers, tsukune, and the hot pot udon the most! The tofu hot pot had a rich soy milk base with a hint of sweetness from the tofu. The grilled young chicken skewers were delicious whether with salt or sauce, and the tsukune was already seasoned and tasty. The hot pot udon, with chicken and mushrooms, was my favorite dish here, and I have yet to find a better one elsewhere! The other three meal options were relatively simple, but the hot pot udon had a variety of ingredients like chicken and mushrooms, and the thick, soft udon noodles were exceptionally delicious. Apart from the slight delay in receiving complimentary items like cold water and chopsticks that were ordered through the touch panel (probably due to the busy year-end period), the experience of cooking and enjoying the meal together with others was wonderful! The way the dishes were brought to the table flowing in a stream added to the charm, which first-time visitors would likely find appealing. Overall, it's a restaurant with a nostalgic atmosphere, and I highly recommend using it during the year-end and New Year period. Thank you for the meal! ★

This is one of the restaurants I've always wanted to visit. Finally managed to make a reservation at the end of the year, so my family and I visited. We were a bit anxious because we didn't know what to expect, but we ordered the course at the entrance counter and were guided to a private room. The kids were excited and we ended up adding some dishes along the way. The boat was a bit underwhelming, but we had a great time. Thank you for the meal.

It's a bit early, but this year for Father's Day, I was able to take my dad to his favorite restaurant, Hinadoriyama. The tofu hot pot here is absolutely delicious! I need to go back with someone else soon. #Tokyo #Hachioji #HachiojiGourmet #TokyoLunch #TokyoGourmet #PrivateRoom #DifficultReservation #CharcoalFire #GrilledOverCharcoal #DeliciousLunch #GoodTimes #FlowingDishes.

From the wild monkey street, turn into an alley and go deeper into the yuzu mountain village to find the hearth cuisine restaurant Hinadori Yama. In the past, this area used to be an imperial hunting ground, which is why there are many restaurants with names like Kamata Toriyama and Ukai Toriyama. After passing through the inviting gate, you will find a lush garden. First, head to the reception in the traditional thatched-roof building to choose your meal. The set courses range from 3,410 yen (tax included). Once you've selected your meal, you will be guided to a folk-style house with private rooms. All rooms have a sunken hearth with a hearth table. Beyond the sliding doors is a river flowing along the rooms! The dishes are all brought to you on a boat along this river. When the hearth is lit, the room temperature rises quickly, but the ventilation and air conditioning are well-maintained, so it's comfortable. We ordered the Taste Boasting Grilled Course for 4,565 yen (tax included). When the boat arrives with dishes, you'll hear the sound of birds and an announcement saying "Your meal has arrived," which will make you go "Oh!" The Fukufuku Tofu Hot Pot is a blend of Hinadori Yama's special dashi and soy milk, creating a smooth broth with silk tofu and yuba, which is a nice touch. The ingredients for the Taste Boasting Grilled Course (per person) include Hinadori skewers (2), bone-in sausages, shrimp skewers, tsukune skewers, and two grilled vegetable dishes. Be careful as the skewers can slip and fall into the ashes. If you ask, they will provide a grill. Be cautious not to overcook the sea bream skewers, as they can become dry. After enjoying the hearth-grilled dishes, use the provided phone to order your final meal. Choose between hot pot udon, Sanuki udon (cold), tea soba, or white rice with pickles and miso soup. We chose tea soba and hot pot udon, both of which were delicious. Finally, we were served warm tea to end the meal. The dishes are simply grilled ingredients, lacking the depth of flavor found in places like Ukai, and there is a somewhat deserted roadside drive-in atmosphere, but the amusement park-like fun of dishes arriving by boat is charming. The minimal contact with others is a significant advantage in these times. Don't forget to use the 5% discount coupon available on their official website or on Tabelog.

I made a reservation for Saturday at 11 am and visited the restaurant. Just to be safe, I made a same-day reservation, but it was fine! I used to come here often in the past, but it had been a while since my last visit. I ordered courses priced at around 5500 yen and 3000 yen, as well as some a la carte items. The portions were generous and the food was quite good. The chicken was delicious as always! Grilling it yourself makes it even more delicious, with the crispy skin and juicy meat. It's a technique that can only be achieved with charcoal grilling. The horse mackerel also had crispy skin and tender meat, very tasty. The tofu was made from soy milk and had a gentle flavor, very nice. It tastes even better with miso added. I recommend the miso. The jumbo shrimp was truly jumbo. It was a bit difficult to eat, but very delicious! The sashimi assortment with 5 types was around 2700 yen, with a generous and luxurious presentation. The A5 Wagyu beef and premium kalbi were also ordered. Both were delicious, but the A5 Wagyu beef allowed you to enjoy the rich flavor of the meat. It's great for when you want something hearty. The dishes come out in a steady flow, so you can avoid contact, enjoy yourself, and have a delicious meal. Thank you for the feast.

The price is a bit high, but the food is really delicious. I ordered a seafood set, and then felt like having some meat so I also ordered premium kalbi and quail. Everything was delicious, especially the large shrimp. Thank you for the meal.

It was an innovative restaurant where all the seats were private rooms and the food floated down the river. It seemed like a fun place for children. You can grill your own chicken and fish over charcoal. The tofu soup is also very delicious. The prices are not too high, which is great.

[2019.7.27] Survey report. Arrived at 17:24. Entered through a splendid welcome gate and handed over the car key at the reception. We placed our order here and were guided by the waitress to a private room in a folk house on the hill. Interior: A traditional Japanese-style room of about 8 tatami mats with a sunken hearth table. The ordered items are as follows: "Specialty Grilled Dish" 4150 yen "Seafood Grill" 5510 yen "Maiden Grill" 4430 yen "Quail Grill" 3100 yen Today, we visited with my wife's parents, a total of 4 people. We decided to order different items to enjoy a variety of dishes. This restaurant has a unique serving method. There is an artificial river next to the room, and the dishes are delivered on boats. An announcement alerts you when the boat is approaching, so you can easily pick up your order. The excitement is like a child when the dishes arrive. Next, a female staff member brought a hot pot. This is the "Fukufuku Tofu Hot Pot" (soy milk tofu). The tofu was unexpectedly delicious, with a rich blend of soy milk and broth. The main skewered items arrived on boats one after another. We grilled and enjoyed various items: chicken, meatballs, sausages, fish, shrimp, scallops, turban shells, sweetfish, and vegetables. After enjoying the skewers, we had a choice of 1) Udon Noodles in Hot Pot, 2) White Rice, 3) Green Tea Soba, or 4) Sanuki Udon. We chose the Udon Noodles in Hot Pot. The thick udon noodles in a sweet and savory broth with ingredients like wood ear mushrooms, chicken, green beans, fish cakes, and wheat gluten were satisfying and filling. Overall, the taste of the skewers was standard, but the fun of grilling and eating them yourself made the experience enjoyable. The dishes flowing on boats added to the fun. However, the room was quite hot, especially when grilling, so it might be best to avoid visiting in the hot summer. My wife had visited a few times in the past. Unfortunately, it seems to be closed now, but there used to be a hot spring facility run by "Hinadori Mountain" nearby. It was enjoyable to sweat here and then soak in the hot spring. It may have been like a theme park for all ages in the past. It feels a bit lonely now, but I hope they continue to do their best.

I visited Hina Toriyama for the first time in about 25 years. It was so long ago that I only remember arriving by boat on the river inside the restaurant. This time, it was during the day and without alcohol since I drove here. I parked my car in the parking lot, passed through a gate that looked like a mountain gate, glanced at the water wheel, and entered the restaurant. I decided on the menu here. The most popular option was the Flavorful Grilled Set Course for 4150 yen plus tax, with a choice of udon or soba. They asked for my car keys here... maybe it's to prevent dine and dash? The staff led me to a private room named after a river with charcoal prepared. First, we had konjac tanzaku and salad, followed by a hot pot with fukufuku tofu. The tofu was like yuba and my daughter, who doesn't usually like tofu, said it was delicious. The sound of birds chirping signaled the arrival of the grilled ingredients. We grilled hina tori skewers, bone-in sausages, tai skewers, shrimp skewers, tsukune skewers, and vegetable skewers. This was a serving of grilled skewers for one person. We grilled them carefully over high heat, enjoying the conversation and delicious food. My daughters were both very satisfied and full. Finally, we had soba and udon for the meal, which wasn't too heavy, making it an easy and enjoyable dining experience. It's nice to do this once in a while, it's so fun and satisfying.

The food is served in a flowing manner, which is fun for both adults and children. We grilled fish and meat on skewers over the hearth and enjoyed it. Plus, I tried frog sashimi for the first time and had a great time eating it with my child. The path to the room was also stylish.
