Daisetsuzan Volcanic Group
Volcanic group on the island of Hokkaido
The Daisetsuzan Volcanic Group is a volcanic group of peaks arranged around the 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) wide Ohachi-Daira caldera in Hokkaidō, Japan. In the Ainu language it is known as Nutapukaushipe, Nutaku Kamushupe, or Optateske. These peaks are the highest in Hokkaidō. The group lends its name to the Daisetsuzan National Park in which the volcanic group is located.
