Sheraton Grand Hotel Hiroshima (Wakakusa-cho, Higashi-ku, Hiroshima City) is holding a special November 2026 program for "Gatherings by Sheraton," its community program run in the lobby lounge "&More by Sheraton." The theme is "Stillness & Craft" (a comfortable time and craftwork).
Gatherings by Sheraton is a program that fosters connections between guests and with the local community, based on the Sheraton brand's philosophy of "The World's Gathering Place" (a place where people from around the world gather). Each hotel creates opportunities for exchange through the culture and experiences unique to its region. In November 2026, "Stillness & Craft" is the common theme across hotels in the Japan region.
At Sheraton Grand Hotel Hiroshima, the program invites guests to slow down over handwork while encountering Hiroshima's culture and food. Activities include making origami crane ornaments, making an original Miyajima shamoji (rice paddle) strap, and enjoying dishes made with local ingredients from the Japanese restaurant "Miyabitei" (雅庭).
Handwork That Introduces Hiroshima's Culture
In keeping with the Japan-region theme, the November program offers a chance to experience Hiroshima's culture and food while taking time over handwork.
One activity is making Christmas ornaments from origami cranes, which carry wishes for peace. Another is making an original strap using a Miyajima shamoji, a traditional craft representative of Hiroshima. The Japanese restaurant "Miyabitei" also serves dishes made with local ingredients. Through handwork and food, guests can enjoy Hiroshima's appeal while mingling with other participants.
