The The National Hansen's Disease Museum has introduced a new interactive program utilizing VR technology. Why not deepen your understanding of Issues related to leprosy through immersive visuals?

You can view in VR the concrete walls (Kikuchi Keifuen), holly hedges (Tama Zenshoen), and straits (Oku-Komyoen and Nagashima-Aiseien) that separated the sanatoriums from society, as well as the current state of Tama Zenshoen (photographed in December 2025).

Please review the following important notes before participating.
