Walking with a guide helps connect the places in front of you with the lives, history, and choices behind them. The experience is calm, respectful, and leaves room for questions and reflection.

YOUR LOCAL GUIDE
Masaaki Murakami
Founder and guide, 86GUIDE Hiroshima
Born in Hiroshima Prefecture, Masaaki began guiding in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park in 2014. After a period away from guiding, he later returned to the activity.
His approach is not to give visitors a single answer, but to offer a respectful walk where each person can learn, ask questions, and think about peace in their own way.
