This tower was built by Japanese Buddhists with the cooperation of the Province of Bataan as a symbol of Filipino-Japanese Friendship. The tower holds a buddhist bell with inscriptions in three languages: Nippongo, Tagalog and English. Likewise, the narrative markers are in three languages.
Unlike, the Death March monument which had its metals stolen, a caretaker maintains the Friendship Tower park including the public toilet across the road. However, the toilet is open only when the caretaker is there.
