Ryuhoji Temple

Original Text

The temple name is "Ryuhoji". A temple of the Shingon sect Omuro school built in 1186. Around 1598, it was moved to its current location with the construction of Sendai by Date Masamune. The principal image is a standing statue of Shaka Nyorai and is designated as a national important cultural property. It used to be a betto of the adjacent Osaki Hachimangu Shrine. The Cash Hall (main hall) was built in 1984, and the Tahoto became a prayer temple for the Date family and was built in 1988 to commemorate the 800th anniversary. It seems that it declined due to the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the Meiji period, but it is now revived splendidly.

It's next to Osaki Hachimangu, so when I thought it would be easy to come and go, I took a ridiculous detour. It used to be Bettoji Temple in Osaki Hachimangu, but is it not so close now? Anyway, I was surprised to see it shiny when I entered from the mountain gate. It's a temple that has a Buddha statue as an important cultural property, so I thought it would be old-fashioned. The precincts were cleaned properly. With this, both the Buddha and the next god will be ... in a short time.
