Edwin O. Reischauer Memorial House

Edwin O. Reischauer Memorial House

The Edwin O. Reischauer Memorial House is the former home of American diplomat and Japanese scholar Edwin O. Reischauer in Belmont, Massachusetts.

After Reischauer's death, the house was purchased by Kodansha Publishers. It is now used for special housing for scholars connected with the Edwin O. Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies at Harvard University, and also preserves memorabilia of the Reischauers' careers, and hosts a yearly memorial symposium.
