Hiroshima Orizuru Tower Ticket with Origami and Matcha Experience

ORIZURU TOWER is a place like no other. The wood-decked observatory is surrounded with a grid covering from which the natural wind blows through the entire space. The observatory gives a fine view of the Peace Memorial Park and the Atomic Bomb Dome, and as far as Mt. Misen in Miyajima on sunny days. Feeling the sound and the scent of Hiroshima of today, enjoy a panoramic view of the two UNESCO World Heritage Sites in a single frame. The observatory houses a take-out cafe. It’s a perfect place to relax with a drink and snack while looking at the townscape of Hiroshima.
It may look like the entrance of an attraction in the amusement park. Are you getting excited? Take an elevator to the roof floor. The Spiral Slope connected to the rooftop is made of wood and filled with chic atmosphere.
The observatory has a broad and open space. The observatory, made with Hinoki (Japanese cypress) and cedar, gives off aromatic smell especially on rainy and humid days. You can spend a relaxing time surrounded by the scent of wood. Since it is made like a hill with a difference in height, you can choose your favorite place to sit on such as a slope or a step. It is especially romantic in the night when a beautiful night view can be seen from there.
There is the "Akushu" Cafe on the roof floor where you can drink alcoholic beverages too. It is nice to have a toast seeing the view in a leisurely way. On a sunny day, you can see as far as Miyajima. It is a rare spot where you can see the two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Genbaku Dome and Miyajima.
If you look at the Atomic Bomb Dome from above, you can clearly see the remaining debris in it.You may find the scenery hard to explain with words with the misery of the war and the hope of "recovery." “Hiroshima Hill” is a lovely space where you can spend hours while feeling the wind and sound of the present Hiroshima. Both the locals and visitors can enjoy the townscape of Hiroshima from a different angle loosing track of time.
At “Orizuru Square,” do not forget to throw orizuru you made into the Orizuru Wall which is a huge 50-meter tall glass case. Orizuru Wall is designed to be filled with orizuru carrying wishes of people around the world for world peace. Don't you think it is wonderful? If you throw your orizuru, it will whirl down and down. It will be an unforgettable scene and you cannot help taking pictures. The Orizuru Square houses many counters with different heights where you can make orizuru by yourself. Don’t worry if you haven’t made one before. You can learn how to make orizuru by watching the video and the commentary drawing.
If you stand in front of the huge monitor, countless origami would get together and shape your avatar on the screen. See the numerous origami floating in the shining white virtual space. Those origami will react to your “color” and create a mysterious world like a coupled mirror.
