白瀬南極探検隊記念館

Shirase Antarctic Expedition Memorial Museum in Nikaho tells the story of Konoura-born explorer Shirase Nobu and the roughly thirty men who joined his late-Meiji Antarctic expedition. Official pages also connect that spirit to Japan’s continuing Antarctic research history, list opening calendars, and note related research grants and digital museum materials.
