Moment of Joy
The most attractive part of Orizuru Tower is the spectacular view of Hiroshima from the rooftop observation floor. From the rooftop, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the A-bomb Dome, a World Heritage Site, the Peace Memorial Park, Hiroshima Sogo and other parts of the city. The observation floor is covered, so you can enjoy the view even in the rain. Also, at the “Origami Crane Plaza” on the 12th floor, you can have fun making origami cranes. It is said that your wish will come true if you throw your paper cranes into the “Paper Crane Wall,” a display made up of layers of paper cranes.
