Kirishima City Saigo Park, Public park in Kirishima City, Japan

Kirishima City Saigo Park is a public garden in Kirishima, Japan, centered around a large bronze statue of Saigo Takamori. The statue stands 10.5 meters tall on a 5-meter pedestal and weighs approximately 30 tons.

The statue was commissioned in 1976 by Kagoshima natives living in Kansai, sculpted by Koga Tadao and cast by Kurotani Bijutsu, but the plan to erect it in Kyoto collapsed after the death of organizer Sakomizu Hisanaga. The unfinished work stayed in storage until Koga's son Koga Akira proposed placing it in Kagoshima in 1987. The Mihata chamber of commerce took up the idea, the statue was shipped by sea and unveiled on 28 August 1988, and the surrounding park was completed on 24 February 1990.

The entrance gate reproduces a traditional Satsuma clan villa, while inside you can see 53 woodblock prints showing scenes from the Satsuma Rebellion. These images help visitors understand local life and events from that era.

The park is a three-minute walk from Kagoshima Airport, across National Route 504, and immediately off the Mizobe-Kagoshima Airport interchange by car. It is open from 9:00 to 17:00 and closed from December 30 to January 2. The entrance is modelled on a Satsuma clan villa.

The statue was commissioned in 1976 by people from Kagoshima living in the Kansai region, with sculptor Tadao Koga making the model and the Kurotani Art foundry in Toyama Prefecture casting it. Planned for Kyoto, the project stalled after the death of organizer Hisanaga Sakomizu and was only cast in part. Koga's son Sho retrieved the stored work, and it was unveiled here on 28 August 1988.
