Mount Biei (美瑛岳, Biei-dake) is a stratovolcano located in the Tokachi Volcanic Group,[1][2] Hokkaidō, Japan.[3] The mountain sits between the larger Mount Tokachi to the southwest and shorter Biei Fuji to the northeast. It forms part of the border between Shintoku and Biei towns.
The mountain consists of mostly non-alkaline mafic rock from the middle Pleistocene.[4]
