The Kichijyouji Temple is a famous Soto Zen temple. In the Edo period, a school (sendarin) was established, and it always housed about 1,000 learned priests as a seminary to master the doctrines of the Zen sect. The school is the predecessor of the present Komazawa University, and was damaged during World War II. After the war, a Buddhist sanctum, a study, and a main building were constructed. Even after that, the various buildings had been renovated in line with the times.
