This temple was opened about 1,000 years ago by Heiso, a monk from Nara's famous Todai-ji Temple. Numerous cultural assets, such as a statue of the eleven-faced bodhisattva Kannon, and the Sun/Moon bodhisattvas are enshrined in Zenjo-ji Temple's Treasure Hall. A large mural, the "Zenjo-ji Heisei Era Great Reclining Buddha" is also drawn on the back of the main hall to commemorate the 1,000th anniversary of the temple's founding.
