Kagoshima Spinning Mill

The Kagoshima Spinning Mill (鹿児島紡績所跡, Kagoshima bōsekijo ato) is a former cotton spinning mill constructed in the Bakumatsu period by Satsuma Domain in the Yoshino neighborhood of the city of Kagoshima Japan. The surviving residence for foreign engineers was designated a National Historic Site in 1959, and the site as a whole was later designated a component of the Sites of Japan's Meiji Industrial Revolution: Iron and Steel, Shipbuilding and Coal Mining, which received UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 2015.
