It's called 'Hiroshima Orizuru Tower'.

Orizuru means paper crane in Japanese.

On the 1st floor at SOUVENIR SELECT "Hito to Ki",  has 1,000 items including Hiroshima's famous products. You will find nice souvenirs for your family or friends.


The Akushu Café is also on the 1st floor and they have a lot of interesting original menu items like: Stick-Shaped Okonomiyaki "OKOS", Fresh Fried Potato Chips "NAMACHI", "OKO-MOKO DON" and others.

From the roof top on the 13th floor, you will see the great view with Atomic Bomb Dorm and also Miyajima. You can take nice pictures!! And it is also beautiful at night.




And for an extra fee, you can make paper cranes  and ’drop-in’ your crane into a space in the glass wall from the 12th floor.
Eventually, the wall will be filled by the cranes which the visitors dropped-in.
