Zuihoden

Javin Yam 3 weeks ago

Zuihōden Temple is located on the west side of Sendai city. Visitors can easily reach it by the LOOPLE Bus. It is where the daimyo, Date Masamune, rests eternally. Unlike typical Japanese temples, Zuihōden stands out with its unique design. Its main theme blends black and gold, but what catches the eye are the vibrant colors that adorn the temple. This design has been applied to other similar temples within the area which houses the remains of Masamune’s son and grandson. If you want to understand more about Date family, there is a small museum right next to the main temple. The museum displays the personal artifacts belong to the Date family. Please note that the entry fee of the temple is 570JPY. Highly recommended for those interested in Japanese history or want to explore more about Sendai.

Another great sight to visit in Sendai. Zuihōden Temple is just in the middle of nature. You have to buy tickets though. It's only 570yen. It's reasonable enough for me.

Very peaceful area with lovely stone walking paths between the historical shrines and burial mausoleum of Date Masamune and his relatives. Lovely photo opportunities of memorials as well nature. Walked up from Sendai Station and was an easy 25 minutes. Lots of others caught the public bus up to the foot of the hill. There is parking Iot if you wish to drive. Cafes around the place for coffee and refreshments. Entry was very reasonable, about 600 yen from memory for entry ticket. Lovely big trees and beautifully looked after shrines. Lots of history about Date and his family. Well worth a visit.

Lot of stairs so no good for disabled or old people. Colourful shrine in a wonderful wooded area. Tickets on the gate. Part of the loop bus tour.
