Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park (富士箱根伊豆国立公園,Fuji-Hakone-Izu Kokuritsu Kōen) is anational park inYamanashi,Shizuoka, andKanagawa Prefectures, and westernTokyo Metropolis,Japan. It consists ofMount Fuji,Fuji Five Lakes,Hakone, theIzu Peninsula, and theIzu Islands. Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park covers 1,227 square kilometres (474 mi2).[1]
Rather than being a specific spot, the park is a collection of dispersed tourist sites that dot the region. The farthest point south, the isle ofHachijō-jima, is several hundred kilometers from Mount Fuji. The park includes a variety of geographic features including natural hot springs, coastlines on the Pacific, mountainous areas, lakes, and more than 1,000 volcanic islands. Vegetation in the park ranges from species of mountainous trees to thesubtropical vegetation of the Izu Islands.[1][2]
Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park was established on February 2, 1936, as Fuji-Hakone National Park, and is one of the first four national parks established in Japan. In 1950, the Izu islands were added to the park, a change that also reflected in the park's revised name. Due to its proximity to the Tokyo metropolis and ease of transportation, it is the most visited national park in all of Japan.[3]
Nearby cities includeOdawara,Fuji,Minami Ashigara, andNumazu.
