Everyone is free to make offerings of folded paper cranes to the Children's Peace Monument in Peace Memorial Park. If you are unable to come to the Park to deliver the cranes directly, we will place the cranes at the Children’s Peace Monument on your behalf if you send them to the address provided below. Please note that it is not possible to specify the day on which the cranes are placed at the monument. Also note that you will be responsible for any and all shipping costs.

Address for Sending Paper Cranes:

Peace Promotion Division, International Peace Promotion Department
Citizens Affairs Bureau, City of Hiroshima

1-5 Nakajima-cho, Naka-ku, Hiroshima City, Japan 730-0811

Notes:

  • Please be sure to tie the strings of cranes in bundles. Due to placement of the hanging hooks in the display booths, the best size for paper crane bundles is within 150 cm long and within 25 cm wide. As there have been cases where the strings have snapped or cranes have fallen off the bottom of the bundles, we recommend that you use sturdy variety of string and tie them very securely to ensure that the cranes do not fall off the end of the string.
  • The paper for the cranes doesn’t have to be origami paper; paper such as paper advertisements and wrapping paper can also be used. You are welcome to fold cranes in any color you like.
  • When making large paper cranes or works in frame or panel, please keep dimensions to within a reasonable scale in consideration of the size of the display booths.
  • If you wish to offer more than 10,000 paper cranes to the monument, please contact us in advance.

In addition, we recommend that you also learn about the realities of the atomic bombing, the origins of the Children's Peace Monument, and the current state of nuclear weapons in the world and discuss them with those around you while you make your paper cranes.

When mailing your cranes to our city via post, please feel free to include a Paper Crane Message Card with your name/the name of your organization and your message. These messages will be displayed on the Hiroshima City website. For more details, please see the Paper Crane Message Card page.
