Onzui-Chikusa Prefectural Natural Park (音水ちくさ県立自然公園, Onzui-Chikusa kenritsu shizen kōen) is a Prefectural Natural Park in western Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. Established in 1958, the park spans the municipalities of Sayō and Shisō.[1][2] The area is rich in iron sand and there are remains of a large tatara. Designation of the park helps protect the habitat of the Hida salamander, Japanese giant salamander (Special Natural Monument), golden eagle, black bear, and Japanese dormouse.[3][4]
