#1 of 182 in Things to do in Sendai

Join the crowds paying their respects at Zuihoden, the mausoleum of the city's founder and his ancestors. During your visit to the city, you'll hear the name Date Masamune--the feudal samurai lord much revered for founding the city--so a trip to this hilltop mausoleum and museum helps in understanding what the lord achieved and why he has come to be held in such high esteem. The main buildings of the mausoleum complex date from 1637; after destruction by Allied bombing during World War II, they were rebuilt in 1979 in their original ornamental Momoyama style.

伊達政宗をまつる霊廟です。るーぷる仙台に乗ると間違いなく行けます。上り坂を歩きますが、運動の範囲です。杉並木に囲まれていて、雰囲気のあるところです。青葉城址とセットで見学して下さい。 more »

It is a mausoleum where Masamune date. Looping you and ride the Sendai can be reached without a doubt. Walk uphill is the range of motion. It is surrounded by cedar trees and the atmosphere. Please visit the Aoba Castle and set.

絢爛豪華な装飾で、長い坂がきつくてもきた価値があったなと感じました。伊達家の歴史を学んで行ったらもっと楽しめたのかもしれません。 more »

瑞鳳殿是伊達政宗的陵寢，建築華麗自然不在話下，一定要進去資料館參觀喔！裡面展出了十分重要珍貴的文物，竟然連當初存放伊達政宗靈骨的大水缸也展示出來了，缸底還留著陪葬的金幣耶！實在令人太震撼了！ more »

Rui Phoenix Temple is the tomb of the Ida Zong bedroom, the construction of the beautiful natural not in the words, must go to the information library to visit Oh! There is a very important precious relic on display, even when the large water tank that holds the Ida bone is displayed, and the gold coin is buried with the bottom of the urn. It's really shocking!

So far distant (15 min) from nearest subway station to walk, and too steep big ladder to climb to the cemetery. But the history and architecture art there were so beautiful. So shame that these original building has been completely destroyed during world war and the current one was just the renovation.

Interesting shrines to Japanese rulers from the Sendai area. Reconstructed after the war but still very beautiful. The signs are translated to English and offer some interesting history.
