Serves meat, vegan options available. A 15-seat restaurant with a small selection of noodle dishes, a few of which are vegan. The owners speak limited English, but there is an English menu marking with items can be vegetarian. Confirmed operating as of Jan 2017. Directions: walk up the main street from train station for 15 minutes, keep eye out for the restaurant on the left side of the street, there's a picture of a samurai on the building's front. NOTE: Dec 2019 reported limited vegan options - please send updates. Open Mon-Thu 11:00am-3:00pm, Fri 10:30am-5:30pm.

NOT VEGETARIAN - Edit
Please be careful. Despite the huge sign on the door saying "vegetarians welcome" and a "vegetarian menu" inside, this place does NOT understand what vegetarian means and they will happily serve you fish-filled dishes without a second thought. Speaking Japanese helps.
Read moreThey have a "Tanmen" bowl that is fish-free, and tofu.
DASHI is a fish stock used in a lot of Japanese foods.
SAKANA means fish.
TAMAGO is egg.
Most of the dishes on the vegetarian menu contain DASHI and SAKANA, and one contains TAMAGO. Please be careful!
Pros: Good hours, close to attractions, has tofu
Cons: false advertisement

Not as vegetarian-friendly as advertised - Edit
Be careful. The clearly marked "Vegetarian" dishes may not be vegetarian at all. The one that we ordered had naruto (fish cake) in it. When asked, the server lady told us straight-faced that it was fish. This made us suspicious that the "vegetarian" noodle soup may also contain fish broth.
Read moreWe don't speak Japanese so we can't inquire further. But I would recommend avoiding any noodle soup dishes in this restaurant. The yasai yakisoba and yasai yakiudon might still be vegetarian. And the yuba sashimi is safe. But this doesn't make Hippori Dako more vegetarian-friendly than any noodle shop in Japan.
