Zuiryuji is a Soto-school Buddhist temple, built in the 17th century by Toshitsune Maeda, the third Head of Kaga Domain. It enshrines Toshinaga Maeda, the second Head of the Domain. Though the current temple area is only 20% of the original, several of its buildings have been designated as national treasures or important cultural properties. The Sanmon-gate, Butsuden, and Hatto are designated National Treasures – the first in Toyama Prefecture to receive that status, in 1997 – while the Somon-gate (main entrance), Zendo, Oguri, Kairo, and Daisado are designated Important Cultural Properties.
