Which Japanese national park features Mount Fuji?

Which Japanese national park features Mount Fuji? Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. The park encompasses Mount Fuji and the Fuji Five Lakes, along with the Hakone area, the Izu Peninsula, and the Izu Islands in and around central Honshu.

Unlike a compact park surrounding one landmark, Fuji-Hakone-Izu is a dispersed collection of scenic regions. Its landscapes include an active stratovolcano, alpine forests, volcanic hot springs, Pacific coastlines, islands, and more than 1,000 volcanic islets. Mount Fuji is the park’s most recognizable feature and Japan’s highest mountain.

The park was established in 1936 as Fuji-Hakone National Park. The Izu Islands were added in 1950, prompting the modern name. Its proximity to Tokyo and strong transport connections have made it Japan’s most visited national park.

Nikko National Park and Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park also contain celebrated mountains and cultural sites, but neither includes Mount Fuji. Shiretoko National Park is far to the north in Hokkaido and is known for wilderness, sea ice, and wildlife rather than Japan’s iconic volcano.
