The Furinkazan is a professional wrestling tag team tournament held by Pro Wrestling Zero1. It was created in 2009.

It was preceded by the Passion Cup tag Tournament in 2008, which was won by Kohei Sato and Ryouji Sai.
The Furinkazan was originally held under a points system, with two points for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss. The team finishing atop the points standings were the winners. However, since 2012 the tournament has been held in a single-elimination format. Matches in the Fuzinkazan have a 30-minute time limit.
