IMIN – The Philippine-Japan Historical Museum was honored to welcome representatives from the Sasakawa Peace Foundation, Mr. Nobuyuki Konishi and Ms. Kaoru Kajigayama.

The Sasakawa Peace Foundation is a Japanese nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting peace, international cooperation, and mutual understanding across the Asia-Pacific. Their visit reflects the enduring friendship between the Philippines and Japan.

Through a guided tour, IMIN shared the story of Davao's deep historical ties with Japan dating back to 1903, highlighting how shared history continues to inspire peace, dialogue, and cultural understanding today.

As a museum dedicated to preserving Philippine-Japan heritage, IMIN serves as a bridge between the past and the future through education, historical preservation, and community engagement. Supported by generous foundations and benefactors who believe in our mission, the museum, under the Philippine Nikkei Jin Kai Association (PNJK), continues its work of preserving history while helping war-displaced Filipino-Japanese descendants reconnect with their roots.

We sincerely thank the Sasakawa Peace Foundation for their visit and for sharing our commitment to strengthening the lasting friendship between the Philippines and Japan.

We are delighted to welcome the first batch of visitors to the newly launched Furusato Tourism Circuit! This was made possible through Infinity Travel Co. Ltd. headed by Ma’am Jenny Taglucop, and brought to life by Regional Tour Guide Sir Olan Emboscado .

Our first guests, 32 students from The Abba’s Orchard School Davao, hold a special place as the very first tour group to experience the circuit following its official launch by the Davao City Tourism Operations Office last March.

The Furusato Tour traces the rich history of Davao City beginning at the turn of the 20th century. Through a city walk-style experience, students explored key historical markers at Magsaysay Park, Davao City Hall, and the Ohta Kyozaburo Monument in Mintal. Their itinerary was packed with other key historical areas around Davao. Along the way, they gained a deeper understanding of the people, stories, and structures that shaped the city.

As part of the tour, IMIN The Philippine-Japan Historical Museum, home to significant artifacts of the Filipino-Japanese community that helped build Davao, offered students a more immersive encounter with history through its curated displays. Students were given a guided tour by Sir Veron Nazario, which concluded with a mini calligraphy activity, where students learned proper brush strokes while writing their names.

We look forward to welcoming more groups and creating more meaningful experiences through the Furusato Tours.
