Kagoshima is a pivotal location in Japan's journey towards modernization and was recognized as a World Cultural Heritage site in 2015. Visitors can explore the rich history of this area, which served as a guest house for both domestic and international guests from the end of the Edo period to the Meiji Restoration.
The architecture, design, and furniture within these historical sites provide an immersive experience into the life scenes of feudal lords across different periods. The Imperial Palace, once a residence for the Shimazu family, is particularly noteworthy as it showcases Western cultural influences absorbed by the clan.
The Xianyan Garden, spanning 15,000 square meters and filled with seasonal flowers, offers stunning views of Sakurajima. It houses the Shokoshukan and the Imperial Palace, which display materials and cultural heritage from the Shimazu family's Satsuma Domain.
The Shanggu Collection Hall highlights Japan's modernization efforts during the Meiji Restoration. The area focused on military strength projects like iron smelting and shipbuilding while integrating Western technology, exemplified by the "Shuikan" factory group and its transformation into the "Shangko Shushuikan Main Building," now a museum.
