The garden, which overlooks Sakurajima, is one of Kagoshima Prefecture's most representative landscapes. The 15,000-tsubo (9,000-square-meter) site, with its flowers in bloom in each of the four seasons, includes the Shoko Shuseikan, where materials and cultural assets related to the Satsuma clan and the Shimazu family are on display, and the palace, which was registered as a World Cultural Heritage in 2015 as a place that led the modernization of Japan.
