North Batan: Dipnaysupuan Japanese Tunnel

Following the terrific view from Radar Tukon 
is the Dipnaysupuan Japanese Tunnel. 



The tunnel, which is located in Tukon Hills, 
has 5 entrance/exit points. It was constructed by the Ivatan men and kids
during the Japanese era for soldiers' shack for fear of losing their lives. 
It has a bunker that serves as a lookout and a water reservoir. 
It's a bit chilly inside the tunnel because of its vents. 

We opted to do the climb up at the end,
(the exit near the highway)
since according to kuya Toto, the climb up is very steep. 
And he was right. 
Good job, kuya!!! 



 


The tunnel can get muddy and slippery when it rains
so it's better to go there during dry season.  
Do walk cautiously as well
for we've spotted drop-like water in the walls of the tunnel.
It makes the ground moist.  





We were also fortunate that we always bring our torches with us. 
It helped big time during our walk in the tunnel.
