Gyoki named the temple 長松山 Nagamatsuzan、永代寺 Eitai-Ji, but it was later lost to fire.
Around 1300 (in the Kamakura period) it was revitalized by
Priest 虎関国師, who placed a stone statue of 石仏の毘沙門天王 Bishamonten in the compound.
During the Meiji restauration, priest 定峯和尚 from the temple 伊勢国 密厳寺 Mitsugon-Ji in Ise took care of the statue.
In 1958, the temple was revitalized as 大和信貴山 Yamato Shigisan and named
千福寺 Senpuku-Ji.
