Overview

Origami is a traditional Japanese art of folding paper to create beautiful shapes.

In this experience, you will enjoy folding origami and making a paper crane as a wish for peace. At the end, you will offer it at the Children’s Peace Monument. Every day, cranes filled with prayers for peace arrive there from around the world.

The walk to the monument takes about 20 minutes. Along the way, your guide will introduce local shops and streets so you can enjoy strolling through Hiroshima.

This experience is not only about discovering the charm and history of origami. It is also a chance to reflect on peace. Including the walk to Peace Memorial Park, the total duration is about 90 minutes.

Blending creativity, history, and a message of peace, this cultural experience is perfect for couples, families, or solo travellers.
