The page of "Zuiho-Den" as "Your Destination in Japan" now has been uploaded:
"Zuiho-Den" is the imperial mausoleum of DATE Masamune and is located to the southeast of Sendai Castle.
DATE Masamune was the first feudal lord of Sendai clan, which was the third territory during the Edo Age.
"Zuiho-Den" is located on the hill named "Kyogamine" toward the west, in which direction toward Sendai Castle.
From the foot of "Kyogamine" to "Zuiho-Den", you will go up the stone steps on your left.
Colored leaves surrounding "Zuiho-Den" were beautiful, when I visited "Zuiho-Den" in October.
At the foot of "Zuiho-Den", "Nehan-Mon" Gate is located.
These gates were very impressive and gave the impression how "Zuiho-Den" is dignity.
After passing through the middle gate, "Zuiho-Den" will show up in front of you.
"Zuiho-Den" is very brilliant and gorgeous.
Near to "Zuiho-Den", "Kansen-Den", the imperial mausoleums of DATE Tadamune, the second
Sendai feudal lord, and "Zenou-Den", the imperial mausoleums of DATE Tsunamune, the third
feudal lord, are located.
At the first, you will see "Kansen-Den".
"Zenou-Den" is located to the left of "Kansen-Den".
"Zuiho-Den" today seen was rebuilt in 1979. "Kansen-Den" and "Zenou-Den" were rebuilt in 1985.
The original buildings were destroyed during World War II, while "Zuiho-Den"
and "Kansen-Den" were designated as national treasures of Japan.
