About The Garden Oriental Osaka

The Garden Oriental Osaka is a restaurant, wedding and banquet venue created from the former Osaka City Guest House (Osaka-shi Kokan), a historic building of high standing. Its operators describe it as a guest house in the city, combining refined modern architecture with a lush garden on a site of 4,000 tsubo. Today it houses THE LOUNGE, a bright café restaurant overlooking the garden that serves lunch, desserts and afternoon tea, alongside wedding ceremonies and receptions, banquets, meetings and photo shoots. The lounge offers a kids' menu, a nursing room and nappy-changing facilities for families with small children, and terrace seating when weddings and banquets allow.
