Didn't the Meiji revolution succeed in replacing the Shogun with the Emperor? There were some other rebellions as well...?
There is the Satsuma Rebellion of 1877 which had been popularized by the film "The Last Samurai."

I would also expect resistance from conservative elements to the rapid modernization of Meiji and Taisho.
