Hayachine Quasi-National Park

Hayachine Quasi-National Park (早池峰国定公園 Hayachine Kokutei Kōen) is a Quasi-National Park in central Iwate Prefecture, Japan. Established in 1982, the park's central features are Mount Hayachine (1,914 m (6,280 ft)) and Mount Yakushi (薬師岳?) (1,645 m (5,397 ft)).[2][3][4] The alpine zone and forest vegetation of Mounts Hayachine and Yakushi is a designated Special Natural Monument spanning the municipalities of Hanamaki, Tōno, and Miyako (former village of Kawai).[5][6] The area is celebrated for its flora and also for its place in Japanese folklore, most notably as collected in Tōno Monogatari.[2]
