Command Ridge, where the Japanese kept watch in the 1940s, is Nauru's highest point and still holds some rusted WWII guns, including two large rotating six-barrel weapons that once fired 40kg (90oz) shells. There's also a communications bunker - you can enter if you have a flashlight or lantern and if you look closely you'll see some Japanese writing.
