Mount Maru (丸山, Maru-yama) is a lava dome located in the Nipesotsu-Maruyama Volcanic Group of the Ishikari Mountains, Hokkaidō, Japan. Mount Maru is also known as Higashi-Tokachi-Maruyama (東十勝丸山)[2] or Higashi-Taisetsu-Maruyama (東大雪丸山)[3] to distinguish it from other mountains with the same name. Only in 1989 did scientists discover that Mount Maru is a quaternary volcano.[2] The mountain sits on the border between the towns of Kamishihoro and Shintoku.[1]
