WWII Exhibit

The longest-staying Japanese tourist on Guam

Shoichi Yokoi, a Japanese Imperial Army sergeant, survived in Guam's jungle for 28 years, long after World War II ended. Local hunters discovered him in 1972, and his tale of survival became one of the most remarkable stories in modern history.

See the replica cave at the Seaside Museum, one of our most powerful exhibits.
