Zuihoden, the mausoleum of Lord of Sendai Date Masamune, built in 1637, is a gorgeous mausoleum that conveys the atmosphere of the Momoyama period. It was designated a national treasure in 1931, but was destroyed by fire during war damage. The current building was rebuilt in 1979. On the premises there is a museum that displays materials from excavation surveys and the mausoleums of the second and third Date Masamune.
The stone lantern is broken every time there is a major earthquake, but has been repaired each time.
The doors are occasionally opened to the public, and a wooden statue of Date Masamune is placed inside.
