Ishikari Yufutsu Lowlands

Japanese: 石狩勇払低地帯 - いしかりゆうふつていちたい
Ishikari Yufutsu Lowlands

...To the south of the Ishikari Lowland are the Sapporo Alluvial Fan and the Nopporo Plateau, and to the north is the Ishikari Plateau, both of which form part of the plain. The southern part of the Ishikari Plain is separated from the Yufutsu Plain by a low plateau (Chitose Plateau) made of volcanic ejecta, but the Ishikari-Yufutsu Lowland, which stretches from the main part of the Ishikari Plain to the Yufutsu Plain, connects the main part and southwest of the main island of Hokkaido, and this lowland corresponds to the lowland of northern Honshu, which passes through the Tanabe Lowland, Noheji Plain, Kitakami Basin, and Abukuma River Basin of the Shimokita Peninsula. The Ishikari-Yufutsu Lowland is a Quaternary subsidence area, and has the second largest total subsidence after the Kanto Plain, generally within 250m, but in areas around Shinozu and Naganuma, subsidence of 500-1000m is estimated.

*Some of the terminology used to refer to the "Ishikari Yufutsu Lowlands" is listed below.
