Japanese Tunnel

Monday, May 08, 2006


Another well known tourist object is the Japanese Tunnel. Located underneath the city, the tunnel winds down approximately 4,5 kilometers. The tunnel was named after the Japan occupants who ordered the construction in 1942; reportly thousands of people who were forced to work there died during its construction built.

It was said that there are 3 similar Japanese Tunnel available in Indonesia, one in Irian Jaya and the other is in Bandung. Only in Bukittinggi is open for a tourist attraction
