Entsuin Temple

Entsuin is a Rinzai sect temple of the Myoshin-ji school. It is located in Matsushima, one of Japan's Three Most Scenic Spots. Entsuin is near other quiet and peaceful settings, such as the national treasure Zuigan-ji Temple and Godaido Temple. Entsuin houses the mausoleum of Mitsumune Date, the grandson of Date Masamune. Mitsumune’s father, the second feudal lord Date Tadamune, built the three-bay Sankeiden mausoleum to enshrine his son’s spirit in 1647. On the temple grounds, visitors can view the sand garden and rose garden, or join the bracelet making experience.
