Kabasaki-ji, Buddhist temple ruins in Ashikaga, Japan.
The archaeological site contains foundations of temple buildings and a traditional Jodo garden with a large pond near Mount Yawata.
Constructed by Ashikaga Yoshikane in 1189, the temple served as a prayer site during the campaign against Northern Fujiwara forces at Hiraizumi.
Archaeological excavations since 1984 have uncovered ceramic fragments and wooden inscriptions that confirm the location of Ashikaga Yoshikane's mausoleum.
The site is accessible within 20 minutes by taxi from Ashikaga Station on the Tobu Isezaki Line or 15 minutes from JR Ryomo Line station.
The temple grounds measure 200 meters square and feature remains of a Pure Land style garden that incorporates Mount Yawata in its design.
