Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park

Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park (Fuji-Hakone-Izu Kokuritsu Kōen) is a national park in Yamanashi, Shizuoka, and Kanagawa Prefectures, and western Tokyo Metropolis, Japan. It consists of Mount Fuji, Fuji Five Lakes, Hakone, the Izu Peninsula, and the Izu Islands. Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park covers 1,227 square kilometres (474 mi2). Rather than being a specific spot, the park is a collection of dispersed tourist sites within the region. The furthest point south, the isle of Hachijō-jima, is several hundred kilometers from Mount Fuji. The park includes a variety of geographic features such as 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 the subtropical vegetation of the Izu Islands. 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 was 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. Nearby cities include Odawara, Fuji, Minami Ashigara, and Numazu.
