Saigō Nanshū Memorial Museum, Biographical museum in Kamitatsuo-chō, Japan.
The Saigō Nanshū Memorial Museum contains exhibits, photographs, and artifacts that document the life of Saigō Takamori, a key figure in Japanese modernization.
The museum opened in July 1978 following donations from 200,000 individuals who wanted to commemorate the centenary of Saigō Takamori's death in 1877.
The museum presents dioramas and educational materials depicting Saigō's study of Zen practices and his commitment to Satsuma's training traditions.
The facility includes a 550-square-meter main building with two floors of displays, an annex containing 2,000 books, and parking space for 50 cars.
Inside the museum, visitors can examine a replica of the jail cell where Saigō spent 18 months during his exile on Okinoerabu Island.
