For information: the old museum building was founded 26 years ago, in May 1998, to showcase photographs, documents, and various exhibits that testify to the lives of interned Japanese in Uzbekistan and are also a symbol of friendship between the two countries.

In 2023, a new museum building was built, which is planned to become a tourist attraction for guests from Japan and other countries.
