The Yokoi Museum is closing in Japan, created in the house of the Japanese straggler following his death has closed down. It was opened by Yokoi's widow in 2006, but closed in 2020 due to the pandemic. Mihoko, Yokoi's widow passed away during the pandemic and the family has been unable to find support from the prefecture or city to keep it open and so has chosen to close it. In the Guam Museum, we have several items from Yokoi and 28 years hiding in Guam's jungles. But for me personally, I would love to obtain items from the collection of his museum in Japan, even though many of the items, at least from the reporting, seem to be recreations once he was back in Japan. ************************ Memorial museum for ex-Japanese soldier who lived for 28 yrs in Guam's jungle closes September 6, 2022 (Mainichi Japan) NAGOYA -- The memorial museum here for the late Shoichi Yokoi, a former Japanese soldier who lived in the mountains of Guam for 28 years without knowing
