Furano-Ashibetsu Prefectural Natural Park, Prefectural natural park in central Hokkaido, Japan.

The park covers 357 square kilometers across five municipalities, featuring the Yubari mountain range alongside lakes Katsurazawa, Shuparo, and Nokanaminami.

The Japanese government established this natural park in April 1955, later redesignating it as a prefectural natural park in 1958 to protect Hokkaido's landscapes.

The surrounding communities maintain traditional agricultural practices, with Furano's lavender fields representing a significant element of local identity.

Visitors need personal transportation to access the park, as no direct public transit connects to the natural areas within its boundaries.

Mount Yubari's alpine zones contain specialized plant communities that have adapted to survive in the harsh mountain conditions of northern Japan.
