Sendai Tōshō-gū, Shinto shrine in Aoba-ku, Japan

The shrine features five buildings displaying East Asian hip-and-gable roof architecture, including the main hall, gates, and decorative walls from 1654.

Date Tadamune, the second daimyo of Sendai Domain, ordered the construction of Sendai Tosho-gu in 1649 to honor Tokugawa Ieyasu's legacy.

The shrine maintains its religious function as a memorial to Tokugawa Ieyasu while holding annual festivals on October 9 and 10.

Visitors can access the shrine through JR Sendai Station, with the facility maintaining regular opening hours throughout the year.

The Katakura clan continues to oversee the shrine's operations, with its members serving as chief priests through generations.
