Oriental Hotel Hiroshima to Host 20th Anniversary Sweets Buffet “Wonderland Garden Tea Party”

Oriental Hotel Hiroshima, located at 6-10 Tanaka-machi, Naka-ku, Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture, and led by General Manager Yuji Ueno, will hold the sweets buffet “Wonderland Garden Tea Party” from Thursday, June 4 to Friday, July 31, 2026, at Moon Glow on the 23rd floor, where guests can enjoy panoramic views from the hotel’s top floor. The event is the fifth installment of the hotel’s 20th anniversary program. The event is a sequel to “Strawberry Wonderland 2026: Into a Mysterious and Beautiful World Starring Strawberries,” which ran from March 1 to April 30, 2026 and was well received by many guests. After traveling through the “spring strawberry kingdom,” Alice next arrives at a sunlit “summer maze garden.” While preserving the fantastical atmosphere of the previous event, the buffet will feature fresh and colorful sweets made with seasonal peaches, mangoes, and tropical fruits. This edition’s theme is a lush “Garden Tea Party.” Surrounded by motifs that symbolize Alice in Wonderland, including playing cards, mysterious plants, rabbits, and the Cheshire Cat, guests can enjoy a “mad tea party” world centered on peaches and mangoes. Together with the summer sky seen from the hotel’s top floor, the experience offers a dreamy teatime that feels like stepping into a storybook world.

Inside the glass are layers of refreshing fruit sorbet and citrus mousse, topped with crown-shaped chocolate. It is a signature item that represents the Wonderland story through both visual beauty and changing flavors. Five all-you-can-eat savory dishes will also be available: spaghetti with colorful vegetables from Hiroshima Prefecture, chewy-crust pizzas in margherita and gorgonzola cheese flavors, three types of pintxos with duck, prosciutto, and clams, chilled soy milk and potato soup, and three salads featuring beans and bacon, tomato and cheese, and broccoli with garlic flavor.
