This is a good place to see Hiroshima from the top deck. Grab a drink and enjoy strolling around seeing nearby peace dome and parks. Nice view of street down below. Great for kids , especially the slide to come to down. I think one can easily spend up to 2 hours there. They might be open late during warmer months, so it is a good place to visit after going to the museums in this area.

I really enjoyed this experience! Though the fee is a little more expensive than many other attractions/sightseeing spots in Japan, I spent more time here than I thought I would. Really enjoyed the open air view up top, as well as all the artwork visible on the way down. The slide is fun, if a little humbling when it flattens out. The staff were so friendly - chatting with me, helping my terrible origami and offering to take photos. Really made me feel welcome :) thank you!

This was a lovely experience. I had the opportunity to learn about the history of origami and received support to make my pieces. After exploring and learning about the peace park and museum this was a great way to finish off the day.

Very good way to get an oversight (🤔) of the peace park and this area of Hiroshima. Immersive and informative. We loved it and spent 2 1/2 hours here. The lemon ice-cream and lemonade are special. Staff are welcoming and helpful. Do it!

Wir sind sehr freundlich empfangen worden. Wir hatten viele Herausforderungen zu meistern, diese aber mit der freundlichen und geduldigen UnterstĂĽtzung geschafft und dabei viel Gelacht. Die Zeit ging viel zu schnell rum. Gerne wieder. VG Gabi

I have no idea how somewhere as great as this isn't touristy by now! It has a great view of the atomic bomb dome and a brilliant panoramic view of the city. You can also make your own cranes and drop them down the side of the building. To leave, you can take the optional slide all the way down - it was so much fun! In the evening, they have a bar from 6pm-10pm. We were practically alone on the roofdeck! Amazing.

I went inside to cool off (80 degrees with 80% humidity), not realizing this building had skyview of Hiroshima monument. Paid the admission fee and ordered this unique lemon ice cream. Giving huge props to architecture theme (origami)… very retromodern style, I enjoyed the 360 degree of city view and walked down 9 levels of mural arts. It’s definitely a hidden gem.
