BEFORE YOU GO

Plan your Orizuru Tower and Wall visit

Allow 15m for the visit, then add the journey.

The time above is Fyno’s curated visit allowance. Add the approach, queues, booked sessions and the return.

Choose the actual visit

Compare the tower visit with the neighboring memorial sites. Check current entry and exhibition arrangements rather than assuming all areas are included.

Plan the approach

Keep the museum’s entry arrangements and Miyajima’s ferry connection in the plan. Add both the outward and return journey before choosing a final city activity. [3]

  1. Participating in the Orizuru Wall isn’t just about the view — take a moment inside the interactive ORIZURU SQUARE to learn about the cultural and historical significance of the paper crane as a symbol of peace, then place your own crane in the wall to become part of this ongoing global message.

Choose what fits your day

Leave reflective time around the memorial sites. Decide between the island and an out-of-town gorge day instead of treating both as city-center additions.

More from Fyno’s curation

Orizuru Tower and Wall is a striking feature of Hiroshima Orizuru Tower, a landmark attraction located next to the Atomic Bomb Dome in Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park.

Opened in 2016, the Orizuru Tower offers panoramic views of the city, Peace Memorial Park, and the A-bomb Dome from its rooftop observation deck, and incorporates interactive spaces themed around origami paper cranes, a long-standing symbol of peace in Japan.

You are invited to fold your own paper crane (orizuru) using special origami paper and drop it into the 50-meter-high glass Orizuru Wall, where thousands of colorful cranes gather into a soaring collective display of hope and wishes for peace from people around the world. The wall continues to grow as more cranes are added, creating a powerful visual testament to shared aspirations for a peaceful future.

How long should I allow for Orizuru Tower and Wall?

Fyno’s curated allowance is 15m. It excludes the approach, queues, any required booking and your return journey.
