[2025 Inawashiro Attraction] Travel Guide for Hideyo Noguchi Memorial Museum (Updated Jul)

#Spring0yentrip Inawashiro was a memorable place with its tranquil and expansive scenery. The first thing that caught my eye was the endless surface of Lake Inawashiro. The waves swaying in the wind and the vastness of the sky were one, and it was a sense of freedom that made me want to take a deep breath. I walked around the lake and then took a short walk to the Hideyo Noguchi Memorial Hall. Learning about his background and achievements, I realized that Inawashiro is not just a tourist destination, but a place that has supported history. Time passed gently, as if the steps of nature and people were gently overlapping. It was a trip that helped me forget the hustle and bustle of the city.

Although it has since been replaced, I went to the Hideyo Noguchi Memorial Museum, whose portrait appears on the old 1,000 yen bill! When I think of Hideyo Noguchi, I only have the image of him as a researcher who was active around the world, and I didn't know that his hometown was Fukushima, or that he only returned to Japan once after traveling abroad. His birthplace has also been preserved as a tangible cultural property, and it was a very atmospheric place. There was a lot I didn't know about Hideyo Noguchi's achievements, so I learned a lot! If you're in Fukushima, be sure to stop by! #0YenTravelAutumn #100TravelStyle
