Hiroshima Orizuru Tower is a modern landmark and observatory that offers a unique perspective on the city's past and present. Located next to the Atomic Bomb Dome in Hiroshima, this tower is not just a place for panoramic city views but also a symbol of peace and hope.

Completed in 2016, the tower stands 50 meters tall and features an innovative design that includes a wooden observation deck on the top floor. From here, visitors can look out over the Peace Memorial Park and the broader cityscape of Hiroshima. The view from the deck is especially poignant, providing a direct line of sight to the Atomic Bomb Dome, one of the few structures to partially survive the atomic blast in 1945.

One of the most memorable activities at Hiroshima Orizuru Tower is creating and dropping an orizuru, or paper crane, from the top floor into a massive glass wall inside the building. The orizuru is a symbol of peace, inspired by the story of Sadako Sasaki, who famously folded paper cranes i a wish for recovery and peace after being exposed to radiation from the bomb.

What other travelers are saying about Hiroshima Orizuru Tower

Great views from the top but it closes at 6pm, so get there in plenty of time, to enjoy a drink and relax! There's also lots to do on the lower floor with interactive games and the origami (which you can then drop out of a window for another fee!) There's a slide which you can ride down from the top, or you can use the lift or walk down the slopes (not difficult at all.) Would recommend a visit ☺️

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.

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.

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.

Nice place to hangout if you have time to spare. Rooftop bar has a cover charge of 1,500yen per person. You can order food and drinks and eat at the deck while u enjoy the beautiful sunset. Best place to practice Boketto!
