Akita Shirakami Prefectural Natural Park (秋田白神県立自然公園, Akita Shirakami kenritsu shizen kōen) is a Prefectural Natural Park in Akita Prefecture, Japan. Established in 2004, the park spans the borders of the municipalities of Fujisato and Happō, and takes its name from the Shirakami-Sanchi.[1][2] Shirakami Sanchi is a mountainous region that contains one of Japan's untouched beech forests.[3] Natural Park has two separate zones. One is internal, untouched in the heart of the region and it is part of the protected nature under the auspices of UNESCO and a larger external buffer zone, in which tourist visits are allowed.[4]
