Tanzawa-Ōyama Quasi-National Park (丹沢大山国定公園 Tanzawa-Ōyama Kokutei Kōen?) is a quasi-national park in the Kantō region of Honshū in Japan. It is rated a protected landscape (category V) according to the IUCN.[2] The park includes the Tanzawa Mountains, Miyagase Dam and its surrounding forests, Hayato Great Falls and the religious sites of Mount Ōyama in the mountains of western Kanagawa Prefecture.[3]

In May 1960, a 38,762 hectare area of western Kanagawa Prefecture in the Tanzawa Mountains was designated for protection as the Tanzawa-Ōyama Prefectural Natural Park. The central portion of this area was further designated a quasi-national park on March 25, 1965.

Like all Quasi-National Parks in Japan, the park is managed by the local prefectural governments.[1]

The park spans the borders of the municipalities of Atsugi, Hadano, Isehara, Kiyokawa, Matsuda, Sagamihara, and Yamakita.[4]
