JAPANESE GARDEN

-
A peaceful place popular to couples, family, nature lovers, and photographers. The Japanese Garden along Lake Caliraya (in Laguna) is a memorial park built by the Japanese government in the 1970s in order to commemorate the Japanese soldiers who died during the Second World War.


According to some locals and legends, it is also the burial site of General Yamashita of the Yamashita treasure fame.

According to Cavinti, Laguna residents there are many changes that happened here in Japanese Garden. They say that in the past years, Japanese Garden is more beautiful and maintained compared to its condition today.


Entrance fee for adult is 20php and 15 for children. They also have entrance fees for those who wants to have Photoshoots/Pre-Nuptial at the Japanese Garden.

In exchange of the entrance fees the guard will give you a small piece of paper that serves us your ticket.

There are available spaces for parking, so no worries. 

They have a small store inside, located beside the comfort room. But, you can bring your own foods here, no extra charge / corkage fees. :)

But if you don't feel to bring your own food, there are sari-sari stores outside located after you pass the Camarin Resort.


Climbing this steps will offer you a greater view of some huge trees that will truly show you how historic this place is. 

At the top you will see the amazing view of Caliraya Lake, but the last time we visit the garden, there are some overgrown plants that blocks the amazing view. 


I only have limited picture of the place, because we just go there to conduct a research. so I hope I can go back there, so I can update my blog. hihi :D



How to get to Japanese Garden?

By commuting ---> From Calamba, Laguna:

Ride a jeepney with Sta. Cruz signboard (or a bus to Sta. Cruz)
Tell manong to drop you at the "Pagsawitan" or terminal going to "Lumot".
Then ride a jeepney going to Lumot. The jeepney will take you directly to Japanese Garden because it's just along the way.

Take note that there are only few passing public Jeepneys. It's always better to bring your own means of transportation. 

*If you are planning to conduct a study here, and you need to interview some of the people in their management. . you have to bring a letter because they are very strict. 
















Location: Japanese Garden, Lumban - Caliraya - Cavinti Rd, Cavinti, Laguna, Philippines

MANUEL UY BEACH RESORT

Manuel Uy Beach Resort is located in Brgy. Sta. Ana in Calatagan, Batangas. This place is good for budget travelers and those who wants to relax. Better bring your own tents if you're planning to visit this place coz they don't have any means of accommodations here. No hotels, no rooms, no cottages. If you don't want to sleep in a tent, better visit "Stilts" resort. It's near Manuel Uy. But I think It's a little expensive there. They have bathroom here. and there's a fee. The water is a bit salty but you have no choice. hehe. NOTE: By 2am-4am there is no "bantay" in bathrooms so consider that time where you can use the CR for free. hihihi. :D FEES: - ENTRANCE FEES: Daytour 50php / Overnight 100php - TENT PITCHING: 50php - BATHROOM FEES: Wiwi 5php / Poops 10php / Taking a bath 20php - LONG TABLE: 300php to 400php (But its okay not to rent a table just bring your own table or bring your "sapin".

"A leisure farm with a touch of contemporary Filipino hospitality. Come and enjoy life’s pleasure as you walk with nature." (damireshills.com) If you're a nature lover, better visit this place. You'll surely love it! :) Actually this place is just our 2nd option. (kahit alam kong masakit ang maging 2nd option lang! hehehe) Because my family planned that we go to Guimaras, but for some reasons it turned out going to this resort. But I loved the place. <3 any of the 2 (Guimaras or Damires Hills is okay with me) We visited this place for day-tour only. Because on the next day, we'll be going back to Laguna. A farmer and a Carabao. Symbolized that this place is a combination of a leisure farm and a resort.  The resort is located at the heart of Brgy. Damires, Janiuay, Iloilo, Philippines. So if you're going to visit Ilo-ilo, Don't forget to visit this more-like eco resort. :) Damires Hills offe

MANUEL UY, CALATAGAN, BATANGAS (2018)

(This is my follow up blog for Manuel uy since we go there twice <2017 last year and this year March 2018> and they've done many changes.) When we want to escape from toxic people and/or stressful work we think of a "beach getaway". When we just want to relax, have fun, and feel the nature some of us wants it to be in a "beach" or somewhere peaceful. Like MANUEL UY BEACH RESORT CAMPSITE (located in Calatagan, Batangas) When you want to relax this is the perfect place for you. They don't have cottages/rooms for guests to rent but they have tents for rent. You can bring your tent or rent their tent/s. But I suggest to bring your own tent if you're a budget traveler or if you want to lessen your expenses. BUT It's still up to you.  Below are the improvements that can be seen in the Resort Beach Camp:  (comparison of our first visit last 2017 to our 2nd visit this March 2018) ENVIRONMENTAL FEE Before y
