Streetcar

If you are near Hiroshima Station, take the Hiroshima Electric Railway (Hiroden) tram from Hiroshima Station. Board the tram that goes towards Eba, and get off at the 'Kencho-mae' stop.

Continue walking straight for about 5 minutes, and you will see the tower on your right at 1 Chome-2-1 Otemachi.

If you are in the Peace Memorial Park, start walking towards the Hiroshima National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims. From there, head northeast and cross the Aioi Bridge. After crossing, continue straight for about 10 minutes until you reach the intersection with Otemachi Street. Turn right at the intersection, and you will find the Hiroshima Orizuru Tower on your left at 1 Chome-2-1 Otemachi.

Bus

From Hiroshima Station, take a local bus (number 24 or 28) heading towards Otemachi. Get off at 'Otemachi' bus stop. Once you exit the bus, walk towards the direction of the Otemachi intersection and look for the Hiroshima Orizuru Tower, which will be on your left side. It takes about 5 minutes on foot from the bus stop.
