Lobang Jepang, World War II tunnel complex in Padang, Indonesia
The underground complex stretches across 1400 meters in length and 2 meters in width, featuring multiple connected hallways and specialized chambers throughout the structure.
During the Japanese occupation of Indonesia from 1942 to 1945, the military forces constructed this underground network for defense, weapon storage, and strategic operations.
The construction involved workers from Java, Sulawesi, and Kalimantan islands, reflecting the broad impact of colonial practices across the Indonesian archipelago.
The site remains open to visitors who can access various entrance points near Ngarai Sianok, Taman Panorama, and the Bukittinggi Zoo areas.
The tunnel walls demonstrate exceptional engineering, as the soil composition becomes more solid when mixed with water, contributing to its survival through earthquakes.
