Hiba-Dōgo-Taishaku Quasi-National Park

Hiba-Dogo-Taishaku Quasi-National Park (比婆道後帝釈国定公園 Hiba-Dōgo-Taishaku Kokutei Kōen) is a Quasi-National Park that spans areas of Tottori Prefecture, Shimane Prefecture, and Hiroshima Prefecture, to the east of the island of Honshu, Japan.[1][2] It was founded on 24 July 1963 and has an area of 78.08 square kilometres (78,080,000 m2).[3] As its name suggests, the Hiba-Dogo-Taishaku Quasi-National Park is composed of a series of mountains and ravines in the middle of the Chūgoku Mountains.[4] The park has virgin forests of Japanese beeches, Japanese oaks, Japanese horse chestnuts and interesting ferns. Fauna include the Asiatic Black Bear, Japanese Macaque, mountain hawk eagle and the Japanese giant salamander. Lake Shinryū is also a component of the park.
