Last weekend members of The Davao Bloggers in cooperation with Davao City Tourism Office held a day tour entitled "DAVAO LIFE IS HERE DAVAO BLOGGERS DAY TOUR". Participants were divided into four groups and I was able to join "The Calinan thrill -seekers" group composed of 10 bloggers and photographer. Here's the first part of my blog:
"D'Japanese Tunnel Hotel and Family Resort" located in Matina, Balusong Diversion Road. The tunnel was built in 1942 by the Japanese with the length of 8.9 kms. but today it can be accessed up to 150 meters. Inside the tunnel were life size replicas of Golden Buddha and Japanese Soldiers.

We visited Mintal Historical Markers in Mintal Elementary School where the "OHTA KYOZABURO" memorial site which was made in honor of Ohta Kyozaburo a Japanese entrepreneur who was one who invested in Davao City. Old remains of ruins of Japanese school structures and the ruins of Japanese Pyramide can also be found. We also made a visit to Japanese Cemetery, Irrigation Canal, and Old Japanese houses.

Next stop for that day was in Mintal known as "THE
LITTLE TOKYO OF DAVAO CITY"
were we met up with the Barangay Captain Raymond Bargamento. It was my first time
hearing the history of Mintal and I was amazed by the history itself.
