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).

“Borrow a child and get on welfare.
Borrow a child and stay in the house all day with the child,
or go to the public park with the child, and take the child
to the welfare office and cry and say your man left you and
be humble and wear your dress and your smile, and don’t talk
back ...”
—Susan Griffin (b. 1943)
