苔、紅葉、バラと一年を楽しめるお寺です。天然石で数珠づくり体験ができます。 This temple was built in 1647, to house the mausoleum of Mitsumune Date, who died at the age of 19. He was a grandson of Masamune Date, first feudal lord of Sendai area. This temple is famous for its Japanese style moss garden and full of roses, also in fall, the temple is covered with colored leaves. You can make your own praying beads in this temple. Choosing your favorite power stones with your intuition, decide your design by yourself. Your original praying beads will bring good fortune to you.
Beautiful place to visit while in Matsushima. Take a relaxing stroll through the grounds and enjoy local snacks (as well as one of their many soft cream flavors). In autumn, there was an illumination event. But staff constantly reminded people to ‘not stop walking’. It’s understandable because of the high traffic. Most people ignored them so they could take dozens of pictures. But I felt pressure to move along faster, so it was hard to really enjoy this paid event.
A beautiful temple garden, containing the shrine and mausoleum for Date Masamune, founder of Sendai. We went in late November, when the colors were incredible. There was an rose garden that was mostly dormant, but must look wonderful in the spring. A great place to spend an hour or so. The grounds are not huge, but worth the short detour. Admission was very reasonable at 300.
We visited both the night time and day time. The entrance fee for night time is more than 4 times of the day time. I personally don’t think it’s worth it. The maple leaves were not well illuminated and less than half of the maple trees turned to fall colors. Day time visit was much better but still the fall colors were not yet ready in our time of visit when was early Nov.

The day time entrance fee for each adult is 300 Yen while the light up night time entrance fee is 1,300 Yen. While the fall foliage views are good, there are too many people especially at night (even on a weekday). No tripods are allowed and it is difficult to take clear photos of the red leaves at night. Day visit is recommended.
