The Ishikari Mountains (石狩山地, Ishikari Sanchi) is a range of volcanic mountains in central Hokkaidō, Japan. The mountain range is made up from the Daisetsuzan Volcanic Group and the Tomuraushi Volcanic Group.[1] The volcanoes are part of the Kurile arc of the Pacific ring of fire. The mountains are also referred to as Kamui Mintara which is an Ainu name meaning “the playground of the gods”.[1]
