Daisetsuzan Volcanic Group

The Daisetsuzan Volcanic Group (大雪山系, Daisetsu-sankei, also called Taisetsu-zan) is a volcanic group of peaks arranged around the 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) wide Ohachi-Daira (御鉢平, Ohachi-daira) caldera in Hokkaidō, Japan.

In the Ainu language it is known as Nutapukaushipe (which means "the mountain above the river"),[2] Nutaku Kamushupe, or Optateske.

The volcanic group lies at the north end of the Daisetsu-Tokachi graben[3] on the Kurile arc of the Ring of Fire.

The volcanic zone makes itself known through a number of fumaroles and natural hot springs.

The following peaks make up the volcanic group:
