Before the United States declared war on Japan (WWII), Japan had long been engaged in exploitation and overthrowing of other countries governments throughout the Asian Continent and South Pacific Region. Like Germany, Japan was also set on a path to achieving "world dominance." And like Germany, an embargo was placed on Japan thus depriving them of critical oil shipments, steel and other materials that could have increased and sustained their war efforts.

The treasures and wealth of a country was removed and transported back to Japan to further finance its war effort. Treasures from the South Pacific Region was transported to the Philippines and put under the supervision of General Yamashita. The treasures were to move from the south to the north and finally to Japan. Since vast amounts of treasure were coming in to the Philippines, General Yamashita had to store much of the treasure until ships/planes were sent to take the treasures back to Japan. Eventually, the possibility of the United States entering the war slowed shipments of the treasures from the Philippines to Japan. General Yamashita was forced to find permanent locations for storing the treasures until the war ended.

Much is known about the "Yamashita Treasure" and fully documented. More than 50 percent of the total amount (720 locations - by our count), has been found, however, there are still approximately 260 locations (by our count) that remains - unfound.

We (of Otherplane) conducted a partial investigation of the Yamashita Treasure that still remain to be found and here is a partial list of our findings, of 10 locations:

Target 1 - is buried approximately 120 feet and is guarded with 16 booby traps (pressure and trip mines and gas canisters). There are 49 boxes of Gold Bars, 6 bars to a box, and each box weighs approximately 120 pounds. Also, 3 boxes of Gold Coins and each box weighs approximately 60 pounds. Finally, there are 2 boxes of Jewelry and each box weighs approximately 20 pounds. The stacked boxes are 15 feet high.

Target 2 - is in a cave, 45 feet up a mountainside and 75 feet from the entrance to the chamber (treasure). The 3 entrances are blocked and the chamber is guarded with mines and gas canisters. Seventy Eight (78) boxes of Gold Bars is stored there.

Target 3 - is in a cave and has 8 entrances. Two (2) of the entrances are blocked, with the remaining 6 entrances - open, but covered over by thick vegetation. Booby traps (mines and gas) guards the chamber. There are 46 boxes of Gold Bars and 4 boxes of Gold Coins.

Presently, there are numerous individuals and groups in search of the Yamashita Treasure. No doubt some of the treasure will be found, but a lot will remain unless someone has in their possession information (as mentioned above), or is able to seek outside assistance via paranormal means (such as Otherplane).
