Tokachi Subprefecture, Administrative division in Hokkaido, Japan

The name Tokachi originates from the Ainu language word 'tokapci,' reflecting the indigenous heritage of this northern Japanese territory.

The subprefecture maintains administrative offices across six districts, managing an area with a population density of 33 people per square kilometer.
