Monzen is famous for the Sojiji temple which was the headquarters of the Soto Sect of Zen Buddhism from the late 12th century to the early 17th century.
Over 60% of the population of Monzen is over 50 years old as the town experiences a constant U-turn effect where the younger members leave upon graduation for bigger cities and return years later for retirement in their furu-sato or home town.
Among the many small hidden temples in the woods and back alleys of neighborhoods in Monzen, the most famous are the Sojiji temple and the Agishi Honseiji Temple.
