Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park (秩父多摩甲斐国立公園 Chichibu Tama Kai Kokuritsu Kōen?) is a national park in Japan at the intersection of Saitama, Yamanashi, Nagano and Tokyo Prefectures.

With eight peaks over 2000 m scattered over 1250 km², there are plenty of hiking opportunities and ancient shrines to visit. The best known are Mount Mitsumine (三峰山 Mitsumine-san?), home to the 2000 year old Mitsumine Shrine [1]; and Mount Mitake, with the Musashi-Mitake Shrine.
