Saipan Island popular check-in spot: Banzai Cliff

Banzai Cliff is a very special attraction on Saipan Island, because after World War II, a monument called Chuzonhi was built here by Japan to commemorate the nationals who died here, and the shape of the monument is also very unique Also because of the existence of this monument, it is almost a must-visit place for every Japanese or Korean tourist. Japanese tourists come here to mourn, while Korean tourists come here to stick chewing gum on the monument, which may look unsightly, but due to historical reasons, the local government can only turn a blind eye. Under the cliff, the rocks are rugged, the waves are rough, and one can imagine how tragic the scene must have been during World War II. Looking down from the Suicide Cliff behind, near the "Monument to Loyalty and Bravery", there is a yellow "public restroom" across the street. This "restroom" seems to be intentionally designed, with the shape of the passage leading to the restroom resembling a "bow" and an "arrow", while the restroom itself is shaped like an "arrow feather". It is said that the "arrowhead" points to Tokyo, Japan, and the overall architecture naturally has its special meaning.
