In addition to Uncle Ho's paternal and maternal hometowns, Phan Boi Chau Memorial Site is the most popular destination for the delegation during this survey. This is also the first time this site has welcomed a Japanese delegation after being recognized as a special national relic site on December 16, 2017.
The Phan Boi Chau Memorial Site preserves hundreds of documents and artifacts about the life and career of the patriot Phan Boi Chau, including many artifacts demonstrating the close relationship between Phan Boi Chau and his Japanese friends, especially Dr. Asaba Sakirato. That special friendship has become a bridge for cultural, scientific and educational exchanges between the two countries, contributing to further fostering the international friendship between Vietnam and Japan.
After the trip, the delegation members shared that they were very excited about the tourist destinations of Nghe An and after returning home, they will carry out activities to introduce and promote the famous landscapes, landscapes and relics in the beloved homeland of President Ho Chi Minh to friends and people of Japan.
