'''Niseko Volcanic Group''' is a volcanic group of active stratovolcanoes and lava domes situated in Hokkaidō, Japan. The volcanoes are younger than 400,000 years. The last eruption was 6,000 to 7,000 years ago. Today Iwaonupuri shows fumarolic activity.<ref name="QVoJ">{{cite web|url=http://riodb02.ibase.aist.go.jp/strata/VOL_JP/EN/vol/192.htm|title=NISEKO Volcano Group|year=2006|work=Quaternary Volcanoes of Japan|publisher=Geological Survey of Japan, AIST|accessdate=2008-09-28}}</ref>
