Toba Kokusai Hotel Offers Peach-Themed Afternoon Tea — "Shangri-La" for July and August 2026

Toba Kokusai Hotel's afternoon tea changes theme with each season and has earned high praise from many guests. For July and August, the theme is "Shangri-La" (桃源郷) — an idyllic realm far removed from the everyday world, and in Japan a place associated with peach blossoms in full bloom. The menu is filled with peach-based creations designed to evoke that serene, otherworldly atmosphere.

The afternoon tea is available at The Lobby Lounge overlooking Toba Bay, where guests can enjoy a feast for the eyes as well as the palate, surrounded by the beauty of peaches while taking in the scenic views of the bay.
