Tracing the Footsteps of Great Figures

The Dignified Demeanor of a Warrior Rooted in History

The Date Masamune Statue standing in Iwadeyama emits a solemn demeanor. Originally located in Sendai Castle, the statue was lost during the metal collection efforts of World War II. After the war, a concrete statue was created to symbolize peace and temporarily placed in its original location.

The Story of the Castle and its Lord

In 1964, the statue, which the Date clan had spent 12 years on Iwadeyama, was relocated to the castle site and is called the "peace statue". The posture of the statue at the castle site conveys the aspirations for peace of the warrior who once ruled this land. While contemplating history, one can appreciate the dignity of the statue.

A Stroll Through the Elegant Castle Town

Around the statue, there are pathways that evoke the former castle town. By touring the streets lined with samurai residences and reminiscing about the scent of the times, one can admire the quiet air. Visiting the places associated with great figures will be a memorable experience.
