   Buried Shrine Gate

   The roughly 3-meter (10-foot) torii gate of Kurokami Shrine was buried, with only its top beam still visible. Rather than excavate the gate, the village elder chose to leave it buried as a testament to the eruption's menace for future generations. Standing quietly next to the gate, as if nestling against it, is an old Japanese sea fig tree that miraculously survived the eruption.

   Kagoshima St. Xavier's Cathedral

   In 1549, Spanish missionary Francis Xavier landed in Gion-no-su, Kagoshima. Xavier spent about a year in Kagoshima, introducing Christianity and other foreign cultures to Japan. Father Laguet, who created Japan's first French-Japanese dictionary during the Meiji period, built Xavier Church in honor of Xavier's achievements. It was burned down during World War II, but part of the old stone church and a bust of Xavier remain in Xavier Park. In 1949, to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Xavier's arrival in Japan, the church was rebuilt in modern Gothic style with a donation from the Pope, and in 1999, life-size statues of Xavier, Satsuma man Yajiro, and Bernardo were created by Morikazu Mizoguchi. To commemorate the 450th anniversary of Xavier's arrival, the Kagoshima Cathedral Xavier Memorial Church was newly built in 1999. The new cathedral is a three-story building made of reinforced concrete. The exterior is modeled after a trading ship from the Age of Discovery.

    Saigo Takamori Statue

He later fought against the new government forces in the Seinan War, was defeated, and committed suicide on Shiroyama.
