Hideyo Noguchi Memorial Museum

Hideyo Noguchi Memorial Museum

The Noguchi Hideyo Memorial Museum is a facility that introduces the life and achievements of the bacteriologist Hideyo Noguchi, known for his portrait on the 1,000 yen banknote. Located in Inawashiro Town, Fukushima Prefecture, the museum houses his birthplace and the irori (fire pit) where he suffered severe burns on his left hand at the age of one and a half. Displays include a declaration of his resolve to pursue medicine after undergoing surgery at the age of 16. The museum presents information about his research on yellow fever and his tumultuous life through the ages, with letters and report cards also available for viewing. Interactive exhibits and the "Doctor's Laboratory" allow visitors to learn about bacteriology through quizzes and games, providing insight into Noguchi's lesser-known personality. The museum also features spots where visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of Lake Inawashiro and a museum shop.
