a house of a legendary bacteriologist

Near the lake, there were a few souvenir shops that also seemed to be cafes serving cups of green-tea or local foods around Inawashiro area. Besides, I found two sightseeing spots around here, except for the lake and mountain. One of them was the well-preserved house where a legendary bacteriologist, Hedeo Noguchi, was born. Maybe, He was well-known by his discovering the agent of syphilis diseases. He was born near this lake in 1870's, more than 130 years ago.

The other sightseeing spot was also related to Mr Noguchi. It was parts of the set and location of this man's biographical movie, which was made around 1992, so a little bit old one.

I watched the movie before, and still remember a particular scene. The scene was that the young mother of Mr Noguchi, in short, young Mrs Noguchi, was catching small shrimps near the shore of this lake for their living. So, looking at the surface of Inawashiro-lake, I knew that there might be lots of shrimps near the shore.

Here was still Inawashiro, Japan.
