sightseeing

The Kumagaya Municipal Ogino Ginko Museum is dedicated to Ogino Ginko, the first officially licensed female doctor in Japan who passed the medical practice examination in 1885, one of the three great historical figures of Saitama Prefecture. The museum is a Japanese-style building with tiled roof and plastered walls partly covered in wooden siding built to resemble the Nagaya-mon gate of Ginko Ogino's birthplace, and is divided into an exhibition room and a lounge area.
