Great People of Kanazawa Memorial Museum, Biographical museum in Kanazawa, Japan.

The Great People of Kanazawa Memorial Museum is a biographical collection displaying personal belongings, photographs, and documents from outstanding individuals who shaped the city's development. The exhibits document the lives and achievements of these figures through the objects and records they left behind.

Kanazawa city opened the museum in November 1993 to honour people it judged outstanding natives of the region. The first permanent display covered five figures, among them Takamine Jokichi, Miyake Setsurei, Kimura Hisashi, Fujioka Sakutaro and Suzuki Daisetsu. Fifteen more, including Hatta Yoichi, Nishida Kitaro and Taniguchi Yoshiro, were later added, bringing the permanent roster to twenty.

The museum's name, kanazawa furusato ijinkan, frames the twenty figures as the city's 'hometown great people', honoured for achievements beyond Kanazawa. Alongside them, simple displays cover the three Kanazawa literary masters — Izumi Kyoka, Tokuda Shusei and Muro Saisei — plus Kiryu Yuyu, Kato Semu, Sekiguchi Hiraku and Shimizu Makoto. Temporary exhibitions on the ground floor change several times a year.

The museum is in Shimohonda-machi, a short walk from the Honda-machi or Hirosaka bus stops, about 20 minutes by bus from Kanazawa Station; the Kikugawa route of the Kanazawa Furatto Bus stops right by the entrance. It opens from 9:30 to 17:00, with last entry at 16:30, and the Kanazawa City cultural facilities common ticket is accepted.

The permanent display covers 20 figures, among them Jokichi Takamine, Daisetsu Suzuki and Kitaro Nishida; the first five were joined later by 15 more, including Yuichi Hatta and Yoshio Taniguchi. A small display also introduces the Three Literary Masters of Kanazawa: Kyoka Izumi, Shusei Tokuda and Saisei Muro.
