History
In 1591 CE (Tenshō 19), the shrine was relocated from Yonezawa to Iwadeyama. In 1603 CE (Keichō 8), it was moved to its current location on Mount Atago, where the current shrine buildings were constructed. It has been revered by successive feudal lords, and the fire-prevention festival was particularly celebrated on a grand scale by the entire castle town, establishing the shrine as a representative of Sendai. After the war, a mikoshi (portable shrine) procession was held to pray for the citizens' recovery and development, which became the foundation for the current Aoba Festival.
