What other travelers are saying about Hiroshima Orizuru Tower
This is a good place to see Hiroshima from the top deck. Grab a drink and enjoy strolling around seeing nearby peace dome and parks. Nice view of street down below. Great for kids , especially the slide to come to down. I think one can easily spend up to 2 hours there.
They might be open late during warmer months, so it is a good place to visit after going to the museums in this area.

This is a must-see in Hiroshima! Definitely add the crane folding to your ticket when purchasing. It was an amazing experience.
A ticket will get you access to the rooftop which provides a beautiful view of Hiroshima’s peace park. It was a great spot to sit and sip on the beverages. The ticket included a non-alcoholic drink, but there are wine/beer options available for purchase.
We especially loved the crane folding add-on. I was an epic failure in the folding area despite the clear video tutorial on the tablets at the folding tables. However, the multi-lingual staff members were quick to help fix errors and turn your folds into a worthy peace crane. Once our group finished folding, we went to the observation/drop window where we each made our wish and dropped our crane. As we visited in January 2026, we were told that very soon the paper cranes would be removed as they were close to reaching the maximum weight of the glass encasement.
This was truly a special experience and it was not at all crowded. I would suggest it to any visitor to Hiroshima.
The staff were very friendly and helpful, helpful my friends and I take a really ice group picture. The view of the city is amazing and the café at the top has some amazing coffee.
It was a very humbling experience being near where the bomb dropped in Hiroshima. A lot of good info on when and where the bom had dropped, and for 100yen extra you can learn to fold a paper crane and add to the beautiful paper crane collection showen from outside the building.
I really enjoyed this experience! Though the fee is a little more expensive than many other attractions/sightseeing spots in Japan, I spent more time here than I thought I would. Really enjoyed the open air view up top, as well as all the artwork visible on the way down. The slide is fun, if a little humbling when it flattens out. The staff were so friendly - chatting with me, helping my terrible origami and offering to take photos. Really made me feel welcome :) thank you!
I went inside to cool off (80 degrees with 80% humidity), not realizing this building had skyview of Hiroshima monument. Paid the admission fee and ordered this unique lemon ice cream. Giving huge props to architecture theme (origami)… very retromodern style, I enjoyed the 360 degree of city view and walked down 9 levels of mural arts. It’s definitely a hidden gem.
