Discover Autumn's Bounty at the Hotel Continental Fuchu

Starting September 1, 2025, the Chinese Cuisine restaurant Phili located on the first floor of Hotel Continental Fuchu will launch a seasonal delight: the "Autumn Chinese Afternoon Tea." This special offering allows guests to savor the essence of autumn through exquisite delicacies prepared with fresh, organically grown ingredients sourced directly from the hotel's own farm, the Tohoku Farm in Aomori.

These organic products are beautifully integrated into a traditional Chinese afternoon tea experience.

The Tohoku Farm spans an impressive area of approximately 100 hectares, with around 10 hectares dedicated to growing vegetables without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
