Sengan-en is a garden built in 1658 by Mitsuhisa, the 19th generation of the Shimazu family. It overlooks Sakurajima and is one of the representative attractions of Kagoshima Prefecture. In the park, there are the Shoko Collection Hall and the Imperial Palace, which display relevant materials and cultural heritage of the Shimazu family of the Satsuma Domain, and the Imperial Palace, which showcases the historical process of Japan's modernization. Xianyan Garden and Collection Hall were listed as world cultural heritage in 2015. Kagoshima is not only a place where Western culture is absorbed, but its imperial palace has also witnessed historical changes from the Edo period to the Meiji Restoration.
