Tokachi Plain

Tokachi Plain (Japanese: 十勝平野[1][2]) is a plain facing the Pacific Ocean, located in the southeastern part of Hokkaido.[3][4] The area of the plain is approximately 3600km2.[4]

Matsuura Takeshirō invented the name "Tokachi" based on the Ainu word tokapci (トカㇷ゚チ), meaning a breast, possibly referring to a breast-shaped hill.[5]
