Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

My wife and I live in Dumagete (she was raised there). The history of Negros especially WWII period has always interested me. I’ve listened to the stories passed down through her family of what it was like during that period of history. Dumagete and especially the area known as the ridge outside Valencia holds special significance. Where the Japanese/philippine/ American memorial was literally the last stand of Japanese resistance before the liberation of Negros by American/Philippine forces. The main road up to the memorial is the actual road the American army built to bring up artillery, tanks and troops to route the remaining Japanese troops dug in on the ridge. The road today is paved yet very steep grade wise. The memorial itself is small with a few signs explaining the significance of the area and what took place there. There isn’t much left of the trenches and fighting positions that must of been extensive at one time. Yet I’ve been informed that the surrounding ridges covered in overgrown jungle still have remnants of fox holes and defensive trenches. There is still remnants of a mortar/machine gun fighting positions just a few meters left of the Japanese arch. Be forewarned do not trust google maps when planning your route up there out of Valencia. Google maps advises you take a very precarious road/trail up which intersects to the main road. Unless you have a serious 4x4 or an off road dirt bike you won’t make it. Stick to the longer route using the main road. I’d suggest stopping at the private WWII museum in Valencia before heading up. The owner/curator of the museum is a treasure trove of information/knowledge about the history of the battle of the ridge. He can also advise you on the correct directions to the memorial. FYI the Dumagete airport which was originally built by the Americans later taken over by the Japanese was turned into a kamikaze pilot training center during WWII. After the amphibious landing of the American army in Cebuland many of the kamikaze trainees, instructors and ground crew were enlisted into the retreating regular Japanese army. The ridge for most was were most met their end.

The ride up was as beautiful as it was scarily steep. Near the top, part of the road was under construction. One side was cemented, and we made it all the way on a motorcycle. There happened to be two guys on bikes that arrived after we did and it's a wonder to me how they made that trip.
We went late in the afternoon on a cloudy day but the view of Cebu and Siquijor was still beautiful. Right behind us, there was fog and clouds shrouding the mountaintop. Apart from the landscape, the shrine is pretty straightforward. There's a park bench. There's a historical plaque written in English and one on the wall written in Japanese.
It was relaxing and so remote but there's still phone signal. The locals setup a little basketball ring near the entrance and the titas greeted us with lovely smiles, which I could appreciate.

High on the mountain above the volcanic plain that Dumaguete sits on, one can see from Cebu Island to Siquojor Island, and on a clear day, Bohol also. But the shrine is hardly much to look at. It's one of several Japanese shrines that apologizes for its WW2 occupation of the Philippines, but such things are dead and nearly forgotten.
Keep your feet close to the ground, and you will feel the tremors ever 5 minutes or so, as this mountain is still a slumbering volcano, and the tremors are for real.
But don't be concerned above normal: I guess the mountain blew last before recorded time in the region.

I'm on my thirteenth or fourteenth trip up to this shrine and I love it.
You can walk it through Valencia,just head past Tejeros Pools by car or motorcycle for a few more kilometres,eventually there is a fork in the road,left goes to Casaroro Falls and right to the Japanese Shrine,leave your car or bike there it's safe,then initially walk down to a small river and then commence the climb,it's not that arduous but you'll feel it if your not fit enough believe me.
A slow amble maybe forty five minutes and you reach a plateau,now the pain begins,turn left and you are confronted with a concrete road that rises steeply,not as nice as the grass you have been on previously.
This road goes for approximately one kilometre until you reach the shrine,apart from a small level part it's all uphill and hard work.
If you look to your left half way up you will see the Vice Governor of Negros Orientals retreat,beautiful view for him in the valley,that's the Philippines for you,that vast divide between the have and the have nots.
Once you reach the shrine there's a book to be signed and a donation box,also a little shop if you feel like a drink or snack.
Wonderful view there from looking to the left towards Cebu Island then in the middle down to Dumaguete,time to relax and reflect on the futility of war.
There is an alternative route from Palinpinon Road,it's concrete apart from a small part in the middle,quite steep in places and walking it arduous to say the least,better done on a motorcycle.

After a long, rough ride, which we enjoyed on our motorcycles (though it might be too much for some- if so, take a tour bus or 4x4), we had a snack and bottle of water from the store by the monument. There is not a lot to it, mainly the three sided monolith and a plaque with benches around to enjoy yhe view of Dumaguete and Sibulan with the ocean and Cebu beyond. We didn't camp, but that is allowed. If you are in Dumaguete and have time to spare, it's a cool place. Don't make it a must or at the top of the list.
I suggest Bais, to take the boat to spot dolphins and stop by the sand bar. Casaroro Falls are really nice, though I might be prejudiced, since they are on the street where I live, just up the mountain. Check out the Twin Lakes. Meanwhile, of course you will stroll down the Boulevard, dining at some good restaurants and gazing at the ocean. (Don't buy beads, etc. from street vendors and never give money to begging children.) if you desire a breather from the city, stop by Robinson's Place Mall. It's small, but air conditioned and clean.
You may want to take a ferry to Siquijor (pronounced sicky-hoar). It's the island you see from the Boulevard. Check out its beaches, which are better than Dumaguete has to offer. Try taking a drive around the perimeter of that island and stay at a resort there.

It is an endless uphill route of an ultra marathon held last April 31, 2017. A great kind of an experience to see this historical site of Valencia Negros. The people are very accommodating there. I enjoyed it very much. Thanks Valencia!

Update for travelers, most of this road is now paved and can be driven in a non 4wd vehicle. Although, as the 1st reviewer stated, the ATV tour from Tejero sounds like a good way to go. We met a tour guide when we were up there recently, the rates were quite reasonable compared to Mexico or Hawaii, etc.
But I digress. The impression of what the visitor gets going up to the shrine is how high up above the city you are, and a feeling for what the soldiers fighting in WWII on Negros experienced. The inscriptions in English and another in Japanese tell the story of fighitng for the ridgetops in 1945.
There are caves right under the shrine, but they are blocked off now, and inaccessible. All in all, worth the visit for the view and the history of the place.

This attraction is located among the highest point in Negros Oriental. Located in Valencia, Negros Oriental. This can be accessed by either ATV, Buggy or 4x4 vehicles. Although the site is free for visitors, there is a donation box, the proceeds of which will be given to the caretakers of the place. This attraction offers a great view of Dumaguete City. This is a historical attraction, and I suggest you take this attraction together with the Tejero Highland Resort & Adventure Park's ATV or Buggy rides.
