It was decided to build the Rokumei-kan Pavilion in the once Shozoku-yashiki Premises of the former Satsuma clan in Uchiyamashita Town (where there is Yamato Life Insurance Building next to the present Imperial Hotel in current Uchisaiwai Town, Chiyoda Ward).
鹿鳴館の建設地は内山下町の旧薩摩藩装束屋敷跡（現在の千代田区内幸町、現帝国ホテル隣の大和生命ビルの地）に決まった。
