Tokachi Volcanic Group (十勝火山群, Tokachi-kazangun) is a volcanic group of mainly stratovolcanoes arrayed along a southwest–northeast axis in Hokkaidō, Japan.
The volcanic group lies on the Kurile arc of the Pacific ring of fire, and consists of andesite, basalt, and dacite stratovolcanoes and lava domes. The group gets its name from the highest peak in the group, Mount Tokachi.
The most recent activity is centered on the northwest end.
