The Yokaren Peace Memorial Museum (予科練平和記念館, Yokaren Heiwa Kinenkan) opened in Ami, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, in 2010.[1] The museum preserves and displays materials relating to the young Naval Aviator Preparatory Course trainees, Yokaren (予科練) for short, including photographs by Ken Domon.[2][3] In the adjacent garden, the Yūshō-en (雄翔園), there is a monument to the approximately nineteen thousand Yokaren who died in the war, while the Yūshō-kan (雄翔館) stores and displays their last testaments and other personal effects.[4]
