The Ilagan Japanese Tunnel is a war tunnel that was part of a military base built by the Japanese government as headquarters for its soldiers during the World War II.[2] It is found in Santo Tomas village in Ilagan City in the province of Isabela. It is one of the tunnels in the province. It measures about 40 meters in length and a bit over 3 meters in width and height. The real size of the tunnel, however, has yet to be determined as the site has yet to be fully checked and explored.[3][4]
