Hiroshima Orizuru Tower

Hiroshima Orizuru Tower, located in Hiroshima city, is a more modern location based in the heart of Hiroshima. Directly adjacent to the Atomic Bomb Dome, it is an easily accessible location for those looking to make both stops at once. With a decidedly modern design crossed with a wooden aesthetic, those visitors who decide to pay a fare and cross to the top floor’s observatory deck are rewarded with a great view of Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park from above. The Japanese word orizuru means a paper crane or origami crane and has particular significance in Hiroshima as a symbol of peace.
