[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 😆
