What other travelers are saying about Hiroshima Orizuru Tower
The view from here onto the city is amazing.
We came to watch the sunset and to close the day with a highlight and wishing for peace in the world. Folding the paper crane and to release it to all the others (I think by now 1.000.000 cranes) into the big window was a nice experience. Not sure, why it is so expensive (2200¥ for adults plus 100¥ for the paper crane) and for what the money will be used… Nevertheless it was kind of worth it.
When we entered (yes we were a bit on the late side) we were initially told that we couldn’t buy tickets anymore. After 15 minutes we were told we could indeed buy tickets. Very frustrating because of this we really needed to haste everything.
Then we made the origami paper crane. That was so much fun and sliding it down was cool. We enjoyed the views.
Then we asked if we could still walk done. The lady - seemed the one in charge - was kind enough to say yes. When we start walking a guy was following us (very annoying) and saying to us to walk quick. We really wanted to enjoy the murals because they are beautiful. You can also slide down, looked like fun. We were 5 minutes after closing time outside. So we don’t know why he was pushing that much especially because we had lost 15-20 minutes at the beginning.
We went back up to see the sunset and it was beautiful. Because we had the entry ticket it was not necessary to pay for any consumptions.
Overall we would still recommend. It’s nice. Just come during the day or two hours before to enjoy it to the fullest.
Visiting Hiroshima Orizuru Tower was an unforgettable experience! The panoramic views from the rooftop observatory were breathtaking, offering a unique perspective of Hiroshima and its iconic landmarks, like the Atomic Bomb Dome. I loved the interactive exhibits and the opportunity to fold an origami crane, which added a personal touch to my visit. The tower seamlessly blends modern architecture with deep historical significance, making it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Hiroshima.
The view is beautiful, and the staff are so welcoming and helpful.
It was very relaxing to watch the sunset on the deck.
Thank you Ladies for the photos)
Nice souvenir shop on the ground floor.
Going to the top of the Hiroshima Orizuru Tower was a cool experience that the wife and I enjoyed. Not only did we get some nice pictures from the top of the building, but the opportunity to construct our own Origami and drop it on the side of the wall was a lot of fun. There's also a slide that you can get on to make your descent easier, but we decided to walk down so we could appreciate all the different art that's painted on the walls. It is a little expensive to get to the top of the building compared to other attractions, but the experiences that we had here was a fun and unique one.
