Reconstructed Kitasato Institute at Meiji Mura
The actual Kitasato Institute was opened by bacteriologist Shibasaburo Kitasato in December 1914, as a new private research institution.  However, it is now part of the Kitasato University.  The original 1915 building was rebuilt at Meiji Mura to preserve and exhibit Japanese architecture at the end of the Meiji period (1868-1912).
