39°05′57″N 140°02′56″E / 39.09917°N 140.04889°E / 39.09917; 140.04889[1]
Chōkai Quasi-National Park (鳥海国定公園, Chōkai Kokutei Kōen) is a Quasi-National Park in Akita and Yamagata Prefectures, Japan.[2] Established in 1963, the park's central feature is the twin volcano of Mount Chōkai, although it also includes coastal areas of northern Yamagata and southern Akita Prefectures. It is rated a protected landscape (category V) according to the IUCN.[3] The landscape of Kisakata (象潟), featured in Bashō's Oku no Hosomichi, was transformed by the uplift of land in an earthquake of 1804.[4][5][6][7]
Like all Quasi-National Parks in Japan, the park is managed by the local prefectural governments.[8]
