Date Masamune (September 5, 1567 - June 27, 1636) was a Japanese samurai of the Azuchi-Momoyama period through early Edo period.
Heir to a long line of powerful daimyo in the Tohoku region, he went on to found the modern-day city of Sendai.
An outstanding tactician, he was made all the more iconic for his missing eye.
A case of smallpox attacked his eye and would have killed him had he not gouged out his own eye.
For this, Masamune was often called dokuganryu, or the "one-eyed dragon".
After 3rd lords from Masamune mainly laid under this place.
Of course this place couldn't be entered therefore this cache hidden aside of this place.
This burial place is located at summit of Mt.Dainenji.
Good to see night view of Sendai city and illuminated TV tower at the closed place.
Therefore let me attribute with "Recommended at Night" :-)
Please enjoy cache hunting and this scenic place.
伊達政宗は、戦国時代の武将。出羽国と陸奥国の戦国大名。陸奥仙台藩の初代藩主。
東北地方で長い間大きな力を発揮し、今日の仙台を築いたとされます。
戦国屈指の教養人である一方、豪華絢爛を好むことで知られており、幼少時に患った疱瘡（天然痘）により右目を失明していた事から、「独眼竜政宗」の呼び名でも有名です。
伊達政宗より3代目以降は主にこの場所に埋葬されているようです。
もちろんこの墓所に入る事は出来ないようになっていますので、キャッシュは周りに隠してあります。
この墓所は、大年寺山の山頂に位置し、仙台の夜景もよく見え、テレビ塔のライトアップも間近に見える為、あえて Reccomend at Night とさせて頂きました(笑)
キャッシュ探しと、夜景とライトアップ同時に楽しんでいただければと思います。
