Butsugyoji is a temple related to Kajiwara Kagetoki, located in a quiet residential area of Fueda Kamakura. It is most famous for its pond garden and azaleas and rhododendrons ithat are in bloom in April and May. The azaleas are planted, helter-skelter in an undulating pattern on the hill facing Mt. Fueda which has a large and popular public park. Above the temple itself, there is a hiking trail through the azaleas, that leads to the tomb of Kajiwara at the top.  In 1958 the main hall collapsed due to a landslide but was quickly rebuilt.
