Zuigan-ji Temple
At the Seiryūden, which serves as a treasure hall, you can view paintings and tea utensils associated with the Date clan, as well as the fusuma paintings from the main hall. Zuiganji is one of the pilgrimage sites along the Four Temple Corridor, along with Chusonji and Mōtsūji in Hiraizumi and Risshakuji in Yamagata. Adjacent to Entsuin, there are also restaurants and souvenir shops nearby. Additionally, the Godai Hall, built by Masamune, is worth a visit.
After enjoying the scenic Matsushima, a part of Japan's three landscapes, why not reflect on history at Zuiganji Temple, associated with Masamune?
