My name is Chihiro, your guide for this origami experience. I'll warmly support you throughout!
Origami is a traditional Japanese art that creates beautiful shapes from a single sheet of paper.
In this experience, you can learn the basics of origami while gaining a deeper understanding of its history and cultural background.
Origami dates back to the 8th century and became popular among common people by the 17th.
Among them, the paper crane (orizuru) is known worldwide as a symbol of peace and has a deep historical connection to Hiroshima.
At the end, you will visit ORIZURU TOWER and post your orizuru into the ORIZURU WALL.
◆◆What is ORIZURU TOWER?◆◆ ORIZURU TOWER is a new landmark in Hiroshima, with a wooden observation deck offering a panoramic view. The price includes admission(2,300 yen) to ORIZURU TOWER.
Just a 20-minute walk from ORIZURU TOWER, the session takes under two hours.
