Description
Connect with Hiroshima's spirit at a shrine that survived the Atomic Bomb. In this private ritual, write your wish on Washi paper, fold a crane, and create a personal Amulet to take home.
[ ABOUT THIS ACTIVITY ]
Go beyond the Peace Memorial Museum. Connect deeply with the spirit of Hiroshima at "Hirose Shrine", a sacred guardian that has watched over the city for over 500 years. Although devastated by the Atomic Bomb in 1945, it was rebuilt from the ashes, standing today as a powerful symbol of resilience. This is not just a craft workshop; it is a spiritual journey to create a personal talisman for peace and your own future.
[ WHY BOOK THIS TOUR? ]
While anyone can enter a shrine, without a guide, it is just sightseeing. In this private session, we teach you the "authentic Shinto etiquette"—how to bow, clap, and pray correctly—ensuring your respect reaches the deities.
[ YOUR PRIVATE CEREMONY & AMULET MAKING ]
In this exclusive experience, you will enter the quiet sanctuary to perform a ritual.
1. Write Your Wish
Using traditional "Chiyogami" (Washi paper), write your personal prayer or wish.
2. Fold Your Prayer
Fold the paper into a crane. This is a meditative process where you focus your thoughts into every fold.
3. Dedication
Offer one crane to the shrine deities as a prayer for world peace.
4. The Amulet
Place the second crane (with your wish) into a "high-quality Japanese fabric pouch". Take it home as a powerful "Omamori" (Amulet) of hope and protection.
