Ōsaki Hachimangū, Shinto shrine in Aoba-ku, Sendai, Japan

The main shrine building combines a sanctuary and worship hall under a single roof covered with cypress shingles and black lacquer decorations.

Date Masamune commissioned the construction of Osaki Hachimangu between 1604 and 1607, employing skilled craftsmen from Kyoto and central Japan.

The shrine enshrines three deities: Emperor Ojin, Emperor Chuai, and Empress Jingu, representing protection and prosperity for the local community.

Visitors can reach the shrine via regular city buses from Sendai Station, with departures every 5-10 minutes and a journey time of 20 minutes.

The building features an architectural style called Ishi-no-ma-zukuri, with metal fittings and decorative elements that mirror the Toyokuni shrine in Kyoto.
