Entuuin

Entuuin is a beautiful temple nestled in the scenic landscape of Matsushima, known as the memorial temple of Date Mitsumune. When Mitsumune, the eldest grandson of Masamune, passed away young, this temple was established to honor his spirit. Within the temple grounds stands the Sankei-den, the mausoleum of Mitsumune, and the shrine cabinet with illustrations of Western roses, said to have been brought back by Hasekura Tsunenaga, is a precious cultural artifact that tells of the encounter between Japanese and Western cultures. The gardens with their seasonal beauty, particularly the fantastical beauty of the autumn foliage, enchant visitors and bring peace to the heart.
