Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park (秩父多摩甲斐国立公園, Chichibu Tama Kai Kokuritsu Kōen?) is a national park in Japan at the intersection of Saitama, Yamanashi, Nagano and Tokyo Prefectures.
With eight peaks over 2000 m scattered over 1250 km², there are plenty of hiking opportunities and ancient shrines to visit. The best known are Mount Mitsumine (三峰山, Mitsumine-san?), home to the 2000 year old Mitsumine Shrine; and Mount Mitake, with the Musashi-Mitake Shrine. The park has sources of major rivers such as the Arakawa River, Shinano River, Tama River, and Fuefuki River (Fuji River).
Famous quotes containing the words national and/or park:
“I, with other Americans, have perhaps unduly resented the stream of criticism of American life ... more particularly have I resented the sneers at Main Street. For I have known that in the cottages that lay behind the street rested the strength of our national character.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“The park is filled with night and fog,
The veils are drawn about the world,”
—Sara Teasdale (1884–1933)
