Zuihoden

Zuihoden is the mausoleum of Masamune Date, the founder of the Sendai Domain. It is situated across the meandering part of the Hirose River and opposite the Honmaru ruins of Sendai Castle. The original building was destroyed during the World War II, but it was later restored.

There are several shrines in the vicinity of Zuihoden that are related to the Date clan, such as Kansenden, the mausoleum of Date Tadamune (the second daimyo), Zennoden, the mausoleum of Date Tsunamune (the third daimyo), Myonkaibyo, the mausoleum of Date Chikamune (the ninth daimyo) and of Date Nariyoshi (the eleventh daimyo), and Okosamagobyo, where a number of the children of the Date lords are buried. The entire area is designated as a historic site in Sendai City as "Date Family Cemetery". Additionally, Zuiho-ji Temple is adjacent to the site.
