Tokachi Area

The Mt.Tokachidake Range area stretches from Biei to Furano, with the still-active volcano, Mt.Tokachidake, at its center. Unlike Omote-Daisetsu, the Mt.Tokachidake area is intersected by steep ridgelines and deep valleys. At the foot of the Mt.Tokachidake mountain range are foothills formed by volcanic activity. Rich agricultural plains flank the range to the north.
Mt.Tokachidake and Mt.Furanodake are the most frequently visited peaks in the range. Trailheads are accessible by JR train and bus.
