[Kagoshima] Photographing the statue of Saigo Takamori and his beloved dog!

Saigo Takamori Bronze Statue This is a bronze statue of Saigo Takamori, who made many achievements during the Meiji Restoration, such as the bloodless surrender of Edo Castle and the establishment of the Meiji New Government. ✨️ He is standing in a general's uniform with Shiroyama in the background! It is a large monument, 5.76m in height, with a 1.21m base and 7.27m mound, and there is a facility nearby where you can see the statue from the side. There is a statue of his beloved dog on the front side across the road, and a tourist information center is nearby. The area around the statue of his beloved dog is a photo spot, and the staff at the tourist information center volunteered to help with taking photos 🙌 I felt the warm atmosphere of Kagoshima 😆 Address: 4-36 Shiroyama-cho, Kagoshima City, Kagoshima Prefecture Access: ・Get off at "Saigo Statue" on Kagoshima City View ・About 8 minutes walk from Asahi-dori tram #0 yen trip #Kagoshima #Kagoshima trip #Kagoshima sightseeing #Saigo Takamori
