Hi! This is TOMOMI from Hirsohima hana!
Just next to the Atomic Bomb Dome, a new building partially opened on July11th this year and it will begin full operations on Sep 23rd.
It's called '
Hiroshima Orizuru Tower'.
Orizuru means
paper crane in Japanese.
*1st floor--- Cafe and Souvenir Select
*F2 ---conference room
*F3-11 ---office
*F12 ---Orizuru SQUARE
*F13 ---Hiroshima Hills RF
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.
Why don't you visit Hiroshima Orizuru Tower and throw your paper crane :)
