Cherry Blossoms in full bloom at Zuihoden

---

Zuihōden (瑞鳳殿) in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan is the mausoleum complex of Date Masamune and his heirs, daimyō of the Sendai Domain. When Masamune died in 1636, he left instructions for a mausoleum. Zuihoden was erected the following year. Most of the monuments were destroyed by bombing and subsequent fires in 1945 and subsequently rebuilt in their original Momoyama style. Zuihoden is conveniently located within Sendai city and is easily accessible. During Spring, visitors can enjoy the place with cherry blossoms in full bloom.
