Introduction The site of the Last Command Post of the Japanese Forces is located at the northern tip of Saipan Island. It features war remnants such as tanks and cannons from World War II, as well as a fortified military stronghold formed naturally from limestone. Originally an underground storage site for atomic bombs, this was the location from which the B29 bombers carrying the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II were loaded. The site has now been transformed into a small green park, yet remnants such as bunkers carved into the rock face and tank remains can still be seen.
