Sendai's Sacred Sites

Sendai's religious landscape is defined by the legacy of the Date clan and the city's historical role as a regional capital. This collection features architectural landmarks like the Momoyama-style Osaki Hachiman Shrine and the 100-meter Sendai Daikannon statue. The list includes the Kitayama Gozan, a group of five Zen temples established to protect the city’s northern flank, alongside coastal shrines like Namiwake Jinja, which marks historical tsunami boundaries. These sites offer insights into Japanese spiritual traditions ranging from the Obaku Zen sect to the veneration of the Seven Lucky Gods.
