Orizuru Tower

Located east of the Atomic Bomb Dome, this facility evokes a sense of hope for peace and aspirations for reconstruction.
From the rooftop observation deck, you can see Hiroshima's two World Heritage sites: Peace Memorial Park and the Atomic Bomb Dome, and on clear days, even Mount Misen on Miyajima.
The facility was designed by Hiroshima-born architect Hiroshi Sanbuichi, whose designs are characterized by a focus on natural elements such as wind, water, and sun, earning him international acclaim as a leading green architect.
Through the wooden deck and ceiling, visitors can see the current cityscape and the transition of the revitalized greenery, allowing them to experience Hiroshima's past, present, and future through the wind, light, and scenery, and to experience the greatness of nature and the importance of peace.
You can also place your folded paper cranes into the symbolic "Orizuru Wall." The Orizuru Wall is completed by piling up thoughts and prayers for peace from around the world, so be sure to take part! It's also the perfect place to take a break, as it houses a local product shop (Hiroshima IPPIN) that stocks a selection of locally loved souvenirs, and a cafe where you can enjoy homemade drinks and sweets made mainly with fruits from Hiroshima.
