Abashiri Quasi-National Park (網走国定公園, Abashiri Kokutei Kōen) is a quasi-national park in Japan.[1] The park protects the waters and surrounding coastline of the lakes and lagoons along the Sea of Okhotsk on Hokkaidō. This includes such lakes as Lake Abashiri and Lake Notoro[2] as well as Lake Tōfutsu and Lake Saroma.[3] Lake Saroma is the fourth largest lake in Japan.[3] Most of the park lies within the limits of Abashiri in Abashiri Subprefecture of northeastern Hokkaidō.[3]
The park includes a Marine Protected Area, which falls under the IUCN category Ib.[4] The park is either 37261 ha[1][4] or 43559 ha.[2]
