Banzai Cliff, located on the northern coast of Saipan, is a historical site offering a somber yet important glimpse into the events of World War II. It is where many Japanese civilians and soldiers tragically jumped to their deaths rather than surrender to the American forces. Today, it serves as a memorial and a place for reflection, offering stunning ocean views. The site is generally accessible, though some areas may have uneven terrain. A visit can be done solo for personal reflection or as part of a guided tour to gain deeper historical context. There are no significant seasonal restrictions, but it's best to check weather conditions before visiting. The cost to visit is free, and a typical visit lasts about 1-2 hours. Be respectful and mindful of the site's significance during your visit.
