Le temple Entsuin (円 通 院) a été construit en 1647 et abrite le mausolée de Date Mitsumune, le fils du seigneur féodal local au pouvoir, Date Terumune, mort prématurément à seulement 19 ans. Il se situe notamment à côté du temple principal de Matsushima, le temple Zuigan-ji. Entsuin a été construit dans cette période de deuil et est dédié à Kannon, la déesse bouddhiste de la miséricorde. Vers le fond du terrain du temple se trouve le mausolée, où se dresse une statue du jeune seigneur triomphant sur un cheval blanc, entouré de ses plus fidèles disciples, qui se sont suicidés rituellement après sa mort. L'intérieur du mausolée est décoré de feuilles d'or et de peintures ornées, qui contiennent également des symboles occidentaux tels que des piques, des cœurs, des diamants, une croix et la plus ancienne image de rose japonaise. Ces symboles ont été inclus dans la conception du mausolée car le clan avait à l’époque un intérêt pour le christianisme et la technologie occidentale.
