About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The Nanshu Cemetery in Kagoshima is the final burial place for the 2,023 men who died in the 1877 Satsuma Rebellion fighting against the Imperial Japanese Army. It is located on the former grounds of the Buddhist temple Jôkômyô-ji, up on a hill, overlooking a major avenue which formerly housed a number of Shimazu clan mansions.

A building was constructed on the site in 1879 to help commemorate the war dead; in 1922 it was officially designated as Nanshû Shrine (Nanshû jinja), enshrining the spirit of Saigô Takamori. Jôkômyô-ji has been reestablished and stands immediately neighboring the cemetery today, along with the Saigô Nanshû Memorial Hall (Saigô Nanshû kenshôkan) museum/archives.
