Japan’s No.1 most popular scientist: Dr. Hideyo Noguchi.
But do you know what kind of research he conducted?
The Hideyo Noguchi Memorial Hall is located in his hometown, overlooking Mount Bandai to the north and Lake Inawashiro to the south.
Dr. Hideyo Noguchi was a medical scientist active on the world stage. We introduce his life and research achievements with many photos and materials.

The family home where Dr. Noguchi was born and lived until he moved to Tokyo.
The hearth where he was burned and the alcove pillar into which he carved his resolve when he left for the capital remain just as they were.
