Notsuke-Fūren Prefectural Natural Park, Prefectural natural park in eastern Hokkaido, Japan
Notsuke-Fūren Natural Park spans 116 square kilometers across three municipalities, featuring a long sandspit peninsula and Lake Furen with diverse ecosystems.
The park area contains remnants of Satsumon culture pit dwellings and hosted a samurai checkpoint controlling access to Kunashiri island during the Edo period.
The peninsula name originates from the Ainu word notkeu, meaning jawbone, reflecting the indigenous heritage and natural shape of the landform.
The park offers year-round access through Hokkaido Prefectural Road Route 950, with a 15-kilometer section leading to the nature center.
The park contains Japan's longest sandspit, extending 28 kilometers into the Nemuro Strait between the Shiretoko and Nemuro Peninsulas.
