18 Mausoleum of Yotokuin

18 Mausoleum of Yotokuin

This mausoleum was built in 1660 by Tsunamune, the grandson of DATE Masamune, for Masamune’s wife Megohime on the seventh anniversary of her death. Though small in its scale, the mausoleum equals Masamune’s mausoleum Zuihoden in its splendor and elegance, decorated with black lacquer coating, vivid colors and decorative metal fittings. Preservation and repair work was conducted from 2006 to 2009, which successfully recovered its original form from when it was constructed. It was designated as a National Important Cultural Property in 2012.
*It is not open to the public.

  • 1. Michinoku DATE Masamune Historical Museum

    This museum was built to record the life of DATE Masamune, the hero from the Warring State period. Utilizing over 200 life-sized wax figures to depict the turbulent life of Masamune, the exhibition accurately recreates 25 major events in his life. Especially, the equestrian statue of Masamune is so life-like that it could start dashing at any moment. The exhibition also includes wax figures of 50 great Michinoku icons who were born in the Tohoku region, including DAZAI Osamu, MUNAKATA Shiko, MIYAZAWA Kenji and NOGUCHI Hideyo.
