Global
Okinoerabu is well known for being the island where historical figure Saigo Takamori (also known as Saigo Nanshu) was sent in exile. A Kagoshima man, Saigo played a central role in bringing Japan's over-700-year-long samurai period to an end and modernizing Japan. This is where Saigo is enshrined. There is also a bronze statue of him and his beloved dog Tsun at the shrine. Saigo admirers will want to visit Saigo Nanshu Memorial Museum and Nanshu Shrine together.
