*''Japanese'': 磯御殿 ''(Iso goten)''
The Iso Palace was a [[Shimazu clan]] villa in [[Kagoshima]], which today stands as part of the [[Shokoshuseikan|Shôkoshûseikan]] complex.
Originally constructed as a secondary villa (''bettei''), it was used for the personal leisure of the ''daimyô'', and for entertaining guests, including officials from [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû Kingdom]]. Following the [[Meiji Restoration]], the Iso Palace became the chief Kagoshima residence of the Shimazu. Most of the compound was renovated in [[1884]], and about a third of it survives today.
