Wonderful place to visit. The castle was under construction when I visited. We had a behind the scenes tour. It is going to be spectacular. There is a lot to see as is.
After watching the movie "Hacksaw Ridge," visiting the actual site can be very impactful. It's hard to imagine how the U.S. forces managed to attack from the beach and the sheer number of casualties on this land. Here, you can also see the tunnels left by the Japanese forces. As for the ruins of the city, most of it was also destroyed during the war.
