Gokurakuzan Seihouji (Ji-gi Nyorai)
日本、〒989-3213 宮城県仙台市青葉区大倉上下１
A Jodo sect temple commonly known as "Ji-gi Nyorai" or "Ji-gi-san," it is also a popular tourist destination visited by approximately one million people annually.
History
The temple's name originates from Hei Sadayuki, who enshrined Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Buddha) to pray for the souls of Emperor Antoku and the Heike clan, and named it "Ji-gi." In 1706, Hayasaka Genbei founded it as "Gokurakuzan Seihouji" under the name Kanrenja Ryonen. In 1999, the current main hall was completed, and the principal image was relocated.
