DAVAO LIFE IS HERE: THE JAPANESE HISTORICAL SITES OF DAVAO CITY

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.
