The Tunnel

Were inside the tunnel

This tunnel is a 300 meters stretch main line only but there are also crossings that would reach you to different places approximately 10 kilometers but we are not allowed to enter because some crossing are not owned already by the Hotel management.

More steps to reach the gold hhaha and that is the Golden Buddha.

Lights are provided for the tourist visitors to see .

Inside the tunnel, there are also chapels that Japanese made, armory, office, and they also made their water banker.

The Golden Buddha, this is only a replica but this is their real place where they worship their Buddha.

Vintage bombs were found here, and there were also gold molders discovered as a matter of fact, they exhibited them in the tunnel , there were also old guns, ammunition's and other Japanese weapons found.

Based in history this tunnel is made by Filipinos during the world war II and thousands were killed during the war here because Filipinos were made servants and forced to do forced labor.

Davao City is colonized for many years by the Japanese and there are tunnels made during world war II. Tunnels are present in Mintal , buhangin area, Maa and diversion roads in Davao City. During those days, Japanese used tunnels as there means of transportation channels so that enemies of the war can't locate them easily, there are tunnels made as far as 10 kilometers stretch and there were also crossing points below the ground, Japanese tunnel tour guide told us that during world war II Davao City's main product is Abaca and almost all areas in MIntal were planted with Abaca plant , I agree with him because Our farm in Mintal area is full of Abaca plants before when my father bought that parcel of land way back 1970's and I also saw the title of that land under (NAFCO) National Abaca Fibers Company which is owned by the Japanese long time ago. but now a days, many tunnels were destroyed due to too much improvement of the city, some were disregarded and not preserve but there are some that was preserved like this hotel named The Japanese Tunnel, a hotel that is constructed above the tunnel ...
