Banzai Cliff is located in the northern part of Saipan, and offers some amazing views of the Pacific Ocean and the crashing waves below the cliffs.

There are also many Japanese memorials located along the cliff. Similar to Suicide Cliff, Japanese civilians and soldiers jumped off of these cliffs during World War II rather than surrender to the American forces. The cliffs are a perfect place to sit and meditate or take photos.
