Senshoji Temple is a Shinshu Otani-ha temple located in Midoricho, Yamagata City. In the 15th year of Bunmei (1483), the high-ranking younger brother of Rennyo, the 8th generation of Honganji Temple, Gansho built a hermitage in what is now Takadama, Tendo City. It is called a dedicated temple at the time of the third generation. In the 4th year of Bunroku (1595), the daughter of Mogami Yoshiaki and the maid of Hidetsugu Toyotomi, Komahime joined Hidetsugu, who was suspected of rebellion by Hideyoshi Toyotomi, and was executed at the age of only 15. An incident occurs in which it is done. Yoshimitsu was deeply saddened by this, and because Mrs. Osaki, the mother of Komahime, was devoted to Jodo Shinshu for the memorial service of Komahime the following year, this temple in Takao was changed to Yamagata's Nioudokoji (current Hatago).

The Shoin, Kuri, and Bell Tower were built during the Keicho period. The wrestler statues at the four corners of the main hall are said to have been made by Hidari Jingoro.

It is a temple where there is a tomb of Tomahime, who is said to be the beauty of the Tokukuni, a daughter of Sengoku warlords and Yoshimitsu Yoshimitsu. Komahime was insisted on Toyotomi Shu next time, and was decided to be a side room, but as soon as he arrived in Kyoto, Shuji was ordered to cut off by Hideyoshi, and the family was still executed all the time, so it was still Shuji Even Komahime, who had never met at first sight, would be killed. Yoshimitsu was so sad that he moved the temple named Tendo to the land, built a large shrine, and asked Komahime. It is said that this wooden fence is the largest scale of Tohoku as a wooden building, so it is recommended to take a look.
