Daisetsuzan National Park (大雪山国立公園 Daisetsuzan-kokuritsukōen, also pronounced Taisetsuzan) is located in the mountainous center of the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido. At 2267.64 square kilometers, Daisetsuzan is the largest national park in Japan. The name means "Great Snowy Mountain(s)", an apt description of these peaks — five of them over 2000 meters — that offer some of the most rugged scenery in Japan. The hot springs of Sounkyo Onsen are also located within the park.
