    Miyagi Pref. Sendaishi Aoba-ku Okura Up / down 1
    Ths temple is known for the hauntingly beautiful “Candle Festival” that takes place on August 15. It is said to have been founded by Taira no Sadayoshi, who protected a statue of Amitabha bequeathed to him by Taira no Shigemori and escaped the purge of the Minamoto Clan. In 1706, Hayasaka Genbei, a subordinate’s descendant, became a monk by the name of Kanrensha Ryonen and established the temple. It’s about a 45-minute drive from the Sendai-Miyagi Interchange on the Tohoku Expressway.

    定義山の西方寺。仙台の山奥にあります。天皇塚は縁結びスポットらしいです。本堂は新しく、きれいでした。 駐車場も十分にあります。

    Miyagi Pref. Sendaishi Aoba-ku Kitayama 1-14-1
    Rinnoji Temple is located about 15 minutes by taxi from Sendai Station. It was first founded in Fukushima in 1441, but when the Date clan moved from the castle there to other places, it was reestablished in each location, but it was finally moved to its current site in Sendai in 1602. Its Zen garden, known as one of the many famous gardens in the Tohoku region, attracts many visitors from in and outside the city of Sendai, giving them an opportunity to appreciate seasonal blooms, such as cherry blossoms and hydrangeas. Its statue of Seated ShakaNyorai (an incarnation of the Buddha), Sendai City's Tangible Cultural Property, is exhibited on the 1st and 15th of every month. Every Saturday, the temple sponsors Zen meditation sessions that are open to the public.

    Take the train from Sendai Station to Kitayama Station and walk downhill for about 15 minutes to the entrance to this temple . Well worth the visit with a beautiful garden area and pond to walk...

    Miyagi Pref. Sendaishi Aoba-ku Kitayama 1-13-1
    A Buddhist temple located in Sendai City considered one of the Five Temples of Kitayama. The temple is deeply connected to Date Masamune, the first lord of Sendai Domain, and it is well known that Masamune's father, Terumune, invited the monk Kosai Souotsu to the temple to teach young Masamune. The temple was moved to its current location from Iwadeyama in 1638 in conjunction with the Date clan's forced relocation by the Edo government. The temple grounds are also famous for their hydrangea blossoms and the temple is also known as the Hydrangea Temple and the Flower Temple. The best time to see the blossoms is from late June to mid-July. Over 200-year-old specimens of Japanese white pines and Chinese firs, species protected by the Sendai City government, also grow on the grounds. The temple conducts an event each year in which visitors can enjoy a cup of coffee in picturesque areas such as the main temple and the temple's rock garden.

    伊達政宗公の幼少時の師、虎哉宗乙が住職を務めたお寺です。その後政宗公とともに米沢ー＞岩出山ー＞仙台と移りました。大河ドラマでは虎哉宗乙に不動明王について「梵天丸もかくありたい」との発言は、流行になりました。6月に参拝しましたが、山門前も境内も緑いっぱいです。

    Miyagi Pref. Sendaishi Aoba-ku Chuou 2-5-7

    仙台のアーケード付き商店街の一つであるクリスロードの途中にあります。不動明王を祀る寺院です。初めて知った人物ですが、仙台に実在した人物で選んで立ち寄った店は必ず繁盛したという仙臺四郎も祀られているそうです。アクセスいいので立ち寄ってもいい場所だと思います。

    Miyagi Sendai-shi Aoba-ku Hachiman 4-8-32

    寺名は「りゅうほうじ」。 1186年創建の真言宗御室派の寺院。1598年頃に伊達政宗の仙台築城に伴って現在地に移転。本尊は釈迦如来立像で国の重要文化財に指定されている。かつては隣接する大崎八幡宮の別当であった。現金堂(本堂)は1984年の築、多宝塔は伊達家の祈願寺となって800年を記念して1988年に建立された。明治の神仏分離により衰退したそうだが、現在は立派に復興している。

    Miyagi Pref. Sendaishi Aoba-ku Kitayama 1-12-7

    伊達政宗公のご母堂保春院の墓所がある寺院です。大河ドラマでは保春院が米沢に嫁ぐ場面から始まるので懐かしく感じました。
