WWII Road Skeleton

One million tourists, mostly Japanese, pass by this spot every year on a tour of historic WWII sites in Saipan. If they happen to look out their window right here they probably won't believe their eyes. A Japanese WWII soldier has been sitting here watching the cars go by for the past 66 years.

you should go into the Japanese bunker up there it may be a suicide cave with multiple bodies and relics

@marchingpackofCeHS Hi Marchingpack. I've been in there many times and there are stills bones in that bunker. I also found a 1944 picture from inside that bunker showing the Japanese soldiers who's bones are still there. See my "Bone Collectors" video.

Isn't the Japanese government suppose to collect the remains of this unknown soldier ?

@mwillblade Not the Japanese government. I brought the Japanese bone collectors here and they retrieved the bones.

is a great video i like it,but hopefully no one but you notice this site ,is sad when people go to places likes this and start touching artifacts and also taking many of them home, historical places need to remain understurb so they last long enough to always remember our history,,RIP unknown japanese soldier.his soul still watching over his post and looking the road on guard.

@SaipanPictures thats amazing i would give anything to go to saipan i wanna go so bad ive been to the battlefields and Forrest in germany and found some maxum machine guns a m1 grand with a rusted out helmat marking a grave which was kind of a depressing thing to find in the forrest with no name or any form of identification but it was an american that was later exhumed and the identity was found and he was finally layed to rest in his home town

The lady in Ukraine found similar places. She explained that when you find a skeleton you are supposed to bury it. If you can't, then you're supposed to take a handful of earth and sprinkle it on top of the bones and keep on walking. There needs to be respect for the dead. At least this guy put things back exactly where he found them. Good video.

he was blown up and body parts landed there

[timbob711]

that needs to have a proper burial.......his family never knew what happened to him....

[cowbellpeaceprize]

@SaipanPictures With luck, a WWII enthusiast will recognise the bullet, for me, it looks just like any piece of metal, perhaps not even the a spent one on second viewing.
