*''Other Names'': 川内 ''(Sendai)''
*''Japanese'': 薩摩川内 ''(Satsuma sendai)''
Satsumasendai, also known simply as Sendai, is a city in [[Kagoshima prefecture]], and was historically a major port for [[Satsuma han]].
Satsumasendai, located on the west coast of the Satsuma peninsula, was one of Satsuma's main ports for trade in Chinese goods, for receiving products such as [[sugar]] from the [[Amami Islands]], and for sending out Satsuma products such as ceramics and tax rice, to be sent to the [[Satsuma Osaka mansion|domain's warehouses in Osaka]]. Due to its connections to the China trade, Sendai was also one of a handful of cities in Satsuma domain where Chinese-language interpreters were regularly stationed.<ref>Ono Masako, Tomita Chinatsu, Kanna Keiko, Taguchi Megumi, "Shiryô shôkai Kishi Akimasa bunko Satsuyû kikô," ''Shiryôhenshûshitsu kiyô'' 31 (2006), 244.</ref>
In the aftermath of the 2011 Fukushima disaster, Satsumasendai became the focus of considerable protest, as Kagoshima residents sought to block the restarting of a nuclear reactor based in the city. They were ultimately unsuccessful.
