Schnelle Fakten: Perched on a hilltop with sweeping views of Davao Gulf, this spot was once a Japanese stronghold during World War II. An American soldier named Jack later settled here after the war, giving the place its name.
Highlights: Tucked into the hillside are original Japanese tunnels and foxholes you can still walk through, a raw piece of war history hidden beneath a lively restaurant complex. Grab a table at sunset and watch the city lights flicker on below while the cool mountain breeze rolls in.
Insidertipps
- Skip the busy weekend lunch rush and come on a weekday late afternoon instead.
- Bring a light jacket, the hilltop breeze gets noticeably cooler after sunset.
- Ask staff to point you to the hidden Japanese tunnel entrance near the back of the property.
- The grilled tuna belly and sinigang are local favorites, order those if you want to eat like a Davaoeño.
