The vast majority of Japanese soldiers in World War 2 died, rather than be captured. They considered it a huge shame to NOT DIE IN BATTLE. They either attacked the enemey, or committed suicide. The prisoners referred to in this question may have been held very late in the war. As I recall, it was maybe 1944-45. I do have pictures showing work on the Golf course, although I have no way of authenticating the pictures as to time and place, ID's etc. I also remember that it was not a "golf course" in the sense of today's magnificent courses. Rather, I believe that it was a "roughly" constructed course, just in the sand or pasture, or whatever might have been available, just to provide activities, while awaiting the end of the war reassignments, but all those memories are vague recollections at the moment.

What are the influences of the Japanese to the Philippines in the fields of education beliefs agriculture architecture arts music and sports dances?
The Japanese were only in the Philippines from about January of '42 until about Oct '44. December 1941 the Japanese were attacking the Philippines; October 1944 was the Leyte Gulf naval battle with land invasions into the Philippines. The Japanese were only "settled into occupation" for less than 36 months (without heavy fighting). Thirty six months was only enough time for Japan to sort out the necessary Philippine people for construction work (forced labor), and begin building up defensive fortifications in the Philippines. In addition to this, the Japanese had to gather the appropiate people with skills to commence other "supportive" functions of the occupation forces. Added to this, was an ongoing "guerilla war" that Japanese forces had to contend with; constant patrols to dig out the insurgents, and then execute them. There was NOT enough time to establish much "entertainment" and "sports" to leave a permanent influence.

Where would one access Japanese war records from China?
MOST of the "Japanese" war records were destroyed during (and after WWII). Including "plans (blueprints)" for building war machines, such as the battleships Yamato & Musashi. Check bibliographies in Chinese/Japanese WWII literature, e.g. "The China-Japan War, 1931-1945", (Journal of Military History-Jan 2006); by David M. Gordon.

How did the Japanese samurai ethos effect the attack on pearl harbor?
The biggest impact of the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor (and on the Philippines) was that it caused the US to go to war against the Japanese. A minor impact of the attack was the loss of the US battleships either temporarily or permanently. This was good, as the battleships were not terrifically useful in WW II, but aircraft carriers were. The loss of the battleships turned the US war effort to building more carriers of varying sizes, which ultimately, along with the US submarines and crypto services, won the war.
