The Minami Alps National Park was established on June 1, 1964. It extends along the border of Shizuoka, Yamanashi and Nagano Prefectures for a length of 55km (34miles), and a maximum width of 18km (11miles) for a total area of 358km2.
The Park is a very mountainous region, centering on the Akaishi Mountains with several noted peaks of over 3000 meters in height, including Senjō-ga-take, Kita-dake, Aino-dake, Shiomi-dake, Arakawa-take, Akaishi-dake and Hijiri-dake.
The park also protects the headwaters of the Fuji River, Ōi River and Tenryū River.
Flora in the park includes extensive stands of Japanese beech, Japanese stone pine and hemlock spruce. The largest fauna is the kamoshika and noted avian species include the ptarmigan.[1] The park has minimal public facilities, and the only approach is by mountaineering.[2]
Other large fauna include Asiatic black bear, wild boar and Sika deer.
