P-wave arrival time data, collected from 50 local earthquakes recorded at 11 stations located in and around the Hidaka range, near the junction between the Kuril and the Japan arcs, were inverted to construct the three-dimensional structure utilizing a method developed by AKI and LEE (1976). Hypocenter depths ranged from approximately 30 to 160km. The present analysis reveals the lateral heterogeneities in the structure of the crust and upper mantle beneath the Hidaka district. A distinct and well-constrained low-velocity zone in the upper mantle appears beneath the western side of the Hidaka range, while the high-velocity zone is suggested to be present under the central and eastern side of the range. Both zones are parallel to the axis of the Hidaka range. These zonal structures extend to a depth of at least 90km. Such a velocity contrast in the upper mantle may be explained by the effect of the collision between the Okhotsk Sea and the Eurasian plates. Although there is no clear lithosphereasthenosphere boundary beneath this orogenic belt, the regional velocity variations correlate well with the general geological features within the belt.
