Philippine-Japanese Historical Museum


Philippine-Japanese Historical Museum

This museum features a rich collection of several pieces of artifacts dating from various periods in the history of Davao City; from the earliest historical accounts and records of Japanese settlers who came to Davao to work in abaca plantations, to the community life and times before and during the Second World War, and beyond it including the various tools which they used in the abaca plantations. There were about 20,000 or so Japanese in Davao at the time. Both student and tourist will see and learn the profound cultural effect on the city and its history.

Inside the Museum

There are several interesting vintage pieces of tools and implements which were used by the Japanese in the abaca plantations, as well as a large collection of Japanese coins, bills, and currencies; books, and publications; and the Furu, a traditional Japanese bath among the many other items on display at the Museum.

  3. I'm sorry about my previous comment, I was being harsh. You need not publish it, and this one, either. But please check if posting pictures of the museum is allowed.

    Thank you for featuring the place in your blog, anyway. I have affinity for curators, and that was the reason why I was taken aback when I saw the photos.

    Again, my apologies.
