Senshō-ji

The Senshō-ji temple stands in the heart of Yamagata, following traditional Buddhist architectural principles with its central prayer hall and surrounding garden landscape.

Established during the expansion of Buddhism across northern Japan, Senshō-ji represents the religious development of the Yamagata region through centuries of local history.

Local residents gather at Senshō-ji throughout the year to participate in Buddhist ceremonies, meditation sessions, and traditional religious festivals marking seasonal changes.

Visitors can reach Senshō-ji by taking a local bus from Yamagata Station to the temple district, with operating hours from early morning until late afternoon.

The temple grounds contain a collection of stone lanterns dating back several centuries, each bearing inscriptions that document the names of historical local families.
