History
The shrine was originally enshrined in Yonezawa, Dewa Province. It was relocated to Iwadeyama in 1591 (Tensho 19) and then moved to its current location on Mount Atago in 1603 (Keicho 8). The current shrine buildings were constructed in 1603 by Date Masamune. Throughout history, it has been deeply revered by successive daimyo, their retainers, and common people. After World War II, a mikoshi procession was held to pray for the citizens' recovery and development, which became the foundation of the current Aoba Festival.

There is an observation deck offering views of the Sendai cityscape, allowing visitors to see far into the distance on clear days. As the approach involves steep stone steps and slopes, wearing comfortable walking shoes is recommended. The shrine grounds have a quiet and mysterious atmosphere, and there is a wide variety of omikuji (fortune slips) available.
