Travel Review: Banaue Tourist Information Center

When we arrived from Manila to Banaue, we visited the Banaue Tourism Information Center which is located a short walk from the Banaue bus terminal and just adjacent to People's Lodge and Restaurant where we were staying.

The Banaue Tourism Information Center is manned by the local government unit's tourism officers who told us what are the best tourist spots and attractions to check out, the location and fees of the most affordable and cheapest lodges, inns and pension houses in Banaue. The tourism officers also showed us Banaue Tour Map

Short Review of Our Manila to Banawe Ohayami Bus Ride

In my previous article, I talked about our trip from Manila to Banaue aboard a bus unit owned and operated by Ohayami. We actually asked around as to whether the bus transportation company is owned by a a Japanese national but we were told by the bus conductor that Ohayami Trans is actually the reverse spelling of the last name of the bus operator Mr. Rafael Imayaho, a native of Hingyon Ifugao.

Now, why did we take a Ohayami bus from Manila to Banaue when there were other available bus units plying the same route like the Florida bus.
