Fifteen minutes away from Sendai Station on the Loople Sendai bus is Zuihoden, the mausoleum complex of Date Masamune, a territorial lord or daimyo of the Tohoku Region.

He was famous for being a powerful warlord despite missing an eye. Hence, he was called the dokuganryu or the "One-eyed Dragon." In Zuihoden you can take a walk around large trees and nature only found in Sendai while looking at Date Masamune and his heirs' beautiful resting place.
