Statue of Heihachiro Togo

It is located on a hill in Tagayama Park with a beautiful view, overlooking the mouth of Kinko Bay. It was created in Okayama Prefecture in 1957 (S32) and moved to this location in the same year, and its main body is 1.8 meters. There are graves and monuments inscribed with achievements in the vicinity, and even now, when foreign warships call at Kagoshima, captains and crew members in naval uniforms visit.

I think he's a little smaller compared to Saigo-san and Okubo-san! It's on a hill! A 60 year old man came by bicycle from Kagoshima Chuo Station! I'm exhausted! You can see almost the whole of Kagoshima, Kinko Bay, and Sakurajima! Kagoshima is dotted with quite a few bronze statues! It's quite interesting to visit and find out what kind of thoughts went into building it! May all the best be with the Osada Hashubi!

There is Togo Heihachiro's grave and bronze statue. A must-see for those who like naval heroes! I feel a strange sense of elation.

On May 29th, there was a memorial service for Heihachiro Togo. There were events such as the Maritime Self-Defense Force P-1 flying over the sky and the raising of the national flag. The bronze statue of Heihachiro Togo, the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet who defeated the Russian Baltic Fleet in the Battle of the Sea of ​​Japan, still watches over the entrance of Kinko Bay with a stern eye, watching over Japan's maritime safety.
