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.

  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.
