Hiroshima Orizuru Tower
About
Standing right next to the Atomic Bomb Dome, this modern tower offers a unique, reflective perspective on Hiroshima's past and future. Head to the open-air wooden observation deck for sweeping views of the Peace Memorial Park and the cityscape, then fold your own origami crane to drop into the giant glass facade. It is a peaceful, design-forward space that beautifully balances remembrance with hope.
Insider Tip
Skip the elevator on the way down; instead, take the spiral slide that winds all the way down the side of the building.
