Daisetsuzan Volcanic Group
Daisetsuzan Volcanic Group, Volcanic mountains in Kamikawa district, Japan
The Daisetsuzan Volcanic Group is a collection of peaks formed by volcanic activity in the Kamikawa district of Hokkaidō. The formation creates a high mountain range with more than a dozen summits, some rising above 2,200 meters.
The mountains formed through repeated volcanic activity over millions of years. The last known eruption took place in the 18th century and left traces still visible on some of the peaks today.
The Ainu people name these mountains Nutapukaushipe, meaning 'the mountain above the river', reflecting their deep connection to the land.
Hiking trails start from several trailheads accessible by gravel roads, and they pass through terrain with varying degrees of steepness. In winter, most routes close, and access requires appropriate mountain gear and experience.
Steaming fumaroles and hot springs remain active at several locations, reminding visitors that the mountains are still geologically young. Some springs feed natural pools where hot water collects before flowing into the surrounding streams.
