Japanese tunnel is a big part of our Philippine history. You can always research everything you want to know about the place. In less than 10 minutes your tour will be over . This history is well preserved by the private owners. The entrance fee is affordable so its worth it. Getting inside is very interesting. A tour guide will inform you about its history. How the filipinos were treated by the japanese during those times when japanese soldiers conquered the Philippines. The japanese tunnel serves as the hiding place of the japanese soldiers and inside they have a small cell where they they imprisoned their captures who are filipinos. Water inside the tunnel runs freely as it was their source of water . Until now the spring water still exist. Beyond unimaginable how the filipinos suffered during the world war in 1945 and onwards till the war ended. This place is very important to see for ourselves especially we the filipinos to reminisce and have an idea on the experiences of our ancestors in their sufferings during world war. Additional knowledge of our history and being in the actual place where it happened is quite astonishing. Youll know the meaning of heros and whos deserving to be called one. I have goosebumps and really feel sorry to the filipinos whom the japanese captured and imprisoned in 4x4 feet cell that occupies 4 to 6 prisoners. They can only stand or sit . It breaks my heart to think how those filipinos manage to survived if they did.. lets pray for...
Read moreI love to explore anything even it is related to WWII in the Philippines, so since we decided not to go in crocodile farm due of the rain our tour guide change the route to Japanese Tunnel and this held my interest too😊 And so the journey and story begins. From entrance the bat greeted us, by flying in my head and actually that thing freak me out and of course the story of its discovery is also interesting , the lady tour guide said the tunnel was found in 1960 by a city engineer as they were building the adjacent National Road and they found gold bars, bullet and bombs😲. But the manmade hideout said it was built in 1942 it is very interesting to know a little history from the guide. But the tunnel itself is not big as I was expected. 😏 It was really short and there wasn't much to see . Entrance is 50 pesos only and while walking I loved to cross the blocked entrances and explore what the guide said were at least 7km of tunnel! Coz it seems it is just few meters long and not wide. Nevertheless I still enjoyed our short trip with some clicks of photos of course 😁. And by the way this little tourist spot area are now expanded into a family hotel and restaurant with a swimming...
Read moreGood accommodation plus restaurant and swimming pool for families and romantic couples to enjoy before or after seeing the WW II Japanese Tunnel. We were billed in a hotel at downtown Davao so we just had snack at their restaurant after a short visit at the tunnel. The setting was nice, food was great, beautifully prepared and reasonably priced. They have set meals for groups, you can try a la carte, or order the more affordable rice toppings. Staff were fast and courteous.||Standard accommodation, I gathered from there, starts from 1K to 1.5k pesos, deluxe room at 2k-3k, super luxe room and condotel ranges from 3.5-4k pesos per night.||Swimming pool is clean and very inviting. There are shallow sections for kids plus slides and playhouses around.||It's downside being far from city proper and commute is difficult. The guard however can hail a taxi anytime while the resort provides airport transfer for...
