PHILIPPINE-JAPAN FRIENSHIP SHRINE
I had to have two tries to reach the Shrine as the paths leading to it were rather overgrown. Finally a local rice farmer showed us the way. The last of of Lt. Hiroo Onada's men, Private Kinshichi Kozuka, who died in a confrontation with the police in 1972, may have been buried somewhere near the shrine - perhaps the shrine is on top of the original grave. With luck a reader of this page may be able to clarify this point. THe Shrine is about a ten minute walk from the main road to Looc. |
