#interes #sejarah #padang

Lubang atau bungker peninggalan penjajah Jepang di Kota Padang Sumatera Barat ini, berada di lereng bukit, yang dinamakan warga dengan Gunung Pangilun, Kecamatan Padang Utara.
Oleh warga setempat, Gunung Pangilun, dulunya bernama Gunung Ledang. Ada beberapa cerita tentang nama-nama daerah itu, yang berkembang di masyarakat.
Lubang Jepang Gunung Pangilun merupakan saksi sejarah Perang Dunia ke II, yang di buat sebagai lokasi pengintaian dan pertahanan bagi tentara Jepang, guna menghadapi tentara sekutu.
Darmawi Sutan Sinaro yang sudah berumur 80 tahun menyebut, ada beberapa lubang lain di bukit itu. Namun hanya satu lokasi yang bisa dimasuki. Ia juga mengisahkan bagaimana tentara Jepang di lokasi itu, pasca kalah oleh sekutu.
Sempat di gadang-gadang sebagai destinasi wisata sejarah di Kota Padang, saat ini nasib Lubang Jepang Gunung Pangilun semakin tak jelas, terbukti dengan tertutupnya akses ke lokasi.
