The temple garden at Zuiho-ji has beautiful details to capture in a picture

Some of the bushes are turning red in autumn

You can't see the main building from the entrance as there is a big tree in front of it - walk around and have a look!

Notice

In order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection, the mausoleum will accept up to 100 people per hour for group customers, and 25 people each for the museum.

If you happen to visit one of Sendai's most interesting sights, Zuihoden, then stop by Zuiho-ji. The temple is also located in Kyogamine Park, about thirty minutes on foot from Sendai Station. What I found especially interesting was that you can't see the main building when you enter through the gate, as there is a big tree right in front of it. If you're as curious as me, you'll definitely walk around the garden a bit to see what's behind that tree.
