It was a day to remember when the Inauguration Ceremony of the Consulate-General of Japan in Davao took place. As history reveals, Davao was known as “Little Tokyo” before the Second World War broke out in the Pacific. Takehiro Kano, Minister & Deputy Chief of Mission in his welcome speech at the Waterfront Davao Insular Hotel on February 10, 2018 mentioned that the Japanese first came to Davao in 1903.
