Zenko-ji temples were founded in A.D.745-756(the Nara-period) by Houon-daishi.
Houon-daishi is a famous buddhis priest in ancient Nara city.
Forty-eight temples of Bizen-area are established by him...

Thereafter, there were different historic processes in these temples.
Zenko-ji temples were refounded in A.D.907(the Heian-period) by buddhist monk Shobo.

The hondo of Anju-in was reconstructed in A.D1600.(the AzuchiMomoyama-period) by the lord of new Okayama-jo castle(Hideaki Kobayakawa-ko).
In the Zenko-ji,there were 10 or more temples, in the Edo-period.
And these were the prominent leaders in okayama shingon-shu temples in Sengoku-period and Edo-period, under the patronage of the lord of Okatyama-jo castle(Ukita-ko,Kobayakawa-ko,Ikeda-ko).
