Koshouji Temple
仙台市宮城野区榴岡４丁目１１−１１
As the head temple of the Nichiren sect, this historic temple received substantial protection from the Sendai Domain. It serves as the burial site for figures such as Furuhime and Misawa Hatsuko, preserving a rich historical background.
History
Founded in 1295 CE (Eiun 3) by Nichimon as Daizenji Temple, it was renamed Zenshouji Temple following a prayer for military victory by Date Masamune. It was later renamed Koshouji Temple after the posthumous name of Furuhime, the wife of Date Munetane. Under the strong protection of the Sendai Domain, it was designated as Gokaimon-kaku, the highest rank of temple status.

What visitors say
The temple grounds are spacious and well-maintained, featuring impressive structures such as the main hall, a five-story pagoda, and the mountain gate. The atmosphere is quiet and serene, though it can become crowded during periods such as O-higan (the equinoxes). Visitors can receive a Goshu-dai (a calligraphic inscription of the Buddha's name), and the temple is easily accessible from Sendai Station.
