HIROSHIMA ORIZURU TOWER - WALL ART PROJECT "2045 NINE HOPES"-

HIROSHIMA ORIZURU TOWER is a facility standing right next to the Atomic Bomb Dome. From its "HIROSHIMA HILLS", its roof observation deck, you can enjoy the view of the Peace Memorial Park and Hiroshima City.

It also offers a variety of unique experiences as well as cafés and a souvenir shop for people of all ages to enjoy.

At the ORIZURU SQUARE on its 12th floor, visitors can experience various digital attractions using avatars and fold origami paper cranes to drop them into "ORIZURU WALL" which is the symbol of ORIZURU TOWER. Why don't you join us and drop your own folded ORIZURU into the "ORIZURU WALL"? Enjoy the special experience that only the ORIZURU TOWER can offer. Don't worry if you have never folded origami before, because there is a web application available in multiple languages instruction how to fold origami paper cranes.

On the east side of the building, there is a nine-story spiral walkway called "Sampo" SPIRAL SLOPE, which allows visitors to walk up and down from the first floor to the rooftop observation deck as if they were taking a stroll. The distance from the top to the bottom is approximately 450 meters. Elevators is also available to go up to the rooftop.

In the center of the spiral slope is a slide called "cool-cool-cool," which allows visitors to slide down while spinning around, creating a playful space unique to the ORIZURU TOWER where visitors can actively enjoy going down the slope.

In the spring of 2022, murals were painted on the walls of each floor of the spiral walkway as WALL ART PROJECT "2045 NINE HOPES," which was a reminder of the year 2045, 100 years after the atomic bombing.

Your hotel like a home from home in Miyajima

This is one of the few Western-style hotels in Miyajima Island with Japanese touches. While the rooms have the classic bed style, you can take off your shoes in the style of a Japanese house and relax on the wooden floor. When you arrive at Miyajima and walk out of the ferry terminal, the brown building you see on your left is the Miyajima Villa. It welcomes guests at the entrance to Miyajima. Leave your heavy luggage behind at the hotel as soon as you arrive at the island, and head out for sightseeing lightly. Needless to say, Miyajima is a tourist destination registered as a World Heritage Site, and there is not enough time to enjoy all of the historical buildings, nature, shopping, and gourmet food, but there is also plenty of hospitality for guests to have a special time at this Miyajima villa. Feature 1: Bath with tatami mats Feature 2: Restaurants with locally produced and consumed food Feature 3: A special venue for guests Feature 4: Stay i...

＜Online Experience＞ True Stories of Atomic Bomb Survivors (in Hiroshima)

It is a hard thing to ask about what the Atomic Bomb survivors experienced, even if it is between the families, since it is something that needs enough willpower to speak out. Some atomic bomb survivors started to disclose their personal stories in order not to blame anybody but to convey their mutual message to the world; "No more victims and sufferers of nuclear weapons". One tour guide, who is a second-generation of atomic bomb survivors, got that opportunity to hear directly from the survivors through her job of interpretation. The Online Experience is provided by this guide, who wants to share the messages from the survivors that she received in that valuable opportunity. The contents in these stories are approved by the survivors. 3 minutes preview "True Stories of Atomic Bomb Survivors" Click here to book or learn the program more. View On Airbnb
