• Takayama Line: Hida-Hagiwara ⇄ Gero

Zenshōji Station opened on 9 May 1931 on the Takayama Main Line in the city of Gero, Gifu Prefecture, when the line was extended from Gero to Hida-Hagiwara. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Central. The unstaffed stop lies 93.5 kilometres from the line's official starting point at Gifu. It consists of one ground-level side platform serving a single bi-directional track, with a passing loop alongside that allows limited-express trains to overtake but where the main track itself is the through line, so ordinary trains stop on the platform side only.

The station takes its name from the nearby Zenshō-ji, the chief Zen temple of the Gero district and one of the medieval Tenka Jissatsu group of ten temples designated by the Ashikaga shogunate.
