Museum of the Meiji Restoration維新ふるさと館

The Museum of the Meiji Restoration in Kagoshima is a history museum showcasing the Meiji Restoration, a political event that restored imperial rule in Japan in 1868, transforming its political and social structure and leading to rapid industrialization and a market economy. Satsuma Domain, today's western Kagoshima, played a crucial role in the event. The Meiji Restoration was driven by the Satsuma-Chōshū Alliance, a powerful military partnership between the feudal domains of Satsuma and Chōshū, which aimed to restore imperial rule and overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate.
