Kikai Caldera is a massive, mostly submerged caldera up to 19 kilometres (12 mi) in diameter in the Ōsumi Islands of Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan.
Mount Ontake, also referred to as Mount Kiso Ontake, is the 14th highest mountain and second highest volcano in Japan at 3,067 m (10,062 ft). It is included in Kyūya Fukada's 1964 100 Famous Japanese Mountains.
Mount Usu is an active stratovolcano in the Shikotsu-Tōya National Park, Hokkaido, Japan. It has erupted four times since 1900: in 1910, 1944–45, August 7, 1977, and on March 31, 2000. To the north lies Lake Tōya. Mount Usu formed on the southern rim of the caldera containing the lake.
Naruko is a stratovolcano located in Ōsaki, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. The volcano consists of a 7 km wide caldera with several lava domes. The summit of the 470 m high Mt. Kurumigatake is one of the four lava domes located in the center of the caldera. The volcano is well known because of its relationship to the Naruko Hot Springs Villages. However, its lack of well-defined features makes it difficult to recognize for a casual observer. The Japan Metrological Agency considers Naruko to be an active volcano.
Mount Rausu is a stratovolcano on the Shiretoko Peninsula in Hokkaidō, Japan. It sits on the border between the towns of Shari and Rausu. Mount Rausu is the northeasternmost Holocene volcano on Hokkaidō. It is one of the 100 famous mountains in Japan.
Tokachi Volcanic Group is a volcanic group of mainly stratovolcanoes arrayed along a southwest–northeast axis in Hokkaidō, Japan.
Mount Nantai is a stratovolcano in the Nikkō National Park in Tochigi Prefecture, in central Honshū, the main island of Japan. The mountain is 2,486 metres (8,156 ft) high. A prominent landmark, it can be seen on clear days from as far as Saitama, a city 100 km (62 mi) away.
Mount Iō also Mount Iwo is an active andesitic stratovolcano on the Shiretoko Peninsula of Hokkaidō, Japan. It sits within the borders of the town of Shari. Mount Iō is known for erupting liquid sulphur in the eruptions of 1889 and 1936. Mount Iō literally means, sulphur mountain. There are two explosion craters and a lava dome at the summit of the volcano.
The Tatun Volcanic Group constitutes a group of volcanoes located in northern Taiwan. It is located 15 km north of Taipei, and lies to the west of Keelung. It just adjoins the northern coast of the Taiwan island. The volcanic group was a result of episodic volcanism between 2.8 and 0.2 Ma. As of 2005, some geothermal activity was occurring and gas fumaroles were active among these volcanoes. Observations of the Tatun Volcanic Group suggest that magma chambers probably still exist under the land surface of northern Taiwan.
Fukutoku-Okanoba (福徳岡ノ場) is a submarine volcano that is part of the Volcano Islands in the Bonin Islands of Japan. It is located five kilometers (3.1 mi) northeast of the island of South Iwo Jima.
Hokkaidō Koma-ga-take, also Oshima Koma-ga-take (渡島駒ヶ岳), Oshima Fuji (渡島富士), or just Koma-ga-take (駒ヶ岳) is a 1,131 metres (3,711 ft) andesitic stratovolcano on the border between Mori, Shikabe, and Nanae, all within the Oshima Subprefecture of Hokkaidō, Japan.
Mount Hiuchi, also Hiuchigatake is a 2,356 m tall stratovolcano in Oze National Park, and located in Hinoemata Village, Minami-Aizu gun, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. This is the highest mountain in Tōhoku region. The volcano rises in the north of Lake Ozenuma. It is one of the 100 Famous Japanese Mountains.
Niigata-Yake-Yama is an active volcano in Honshu, Japan. A large eruption in 887 AD sent pyroclastic flows all the way to the Japan Sea.
Izu-Tobu is a large, dominantly basaltic range of volcanoes on the east side of the Izu Peninsula which lies on the Pacific coast of the island of Honshu in Japan. The field covers a total area of 400 km2. The only recorded activity was a submarine phreatic eruption, between the city of Ito and Hatsushima island, that lasted for just 10 minutes in 1989. Ito, home to 74,000 people, is known for its hot springs.
Nishi-no-shima is a volcanic island located around 940 km (584 mi) south-southeast of Tokyo, that is part of the Volcano Islands arc. Nishinoshima is located about 130 km to the west of the nearest of the Ogasawara islands, hence the name, but the other Ogasawara island groups are aligned north-south. The nearest of the other Volcano islands is over 270 km away, but Nishinoshima is on the alignment of the Volcano islands. It was formed by ash from a underwater volcanic eruption.
The devastating eruption of Oshima–Ōshima began on 18 August 1741 and ended on 1 May the next year. Eleven days into the eruption, the Kampo tsunami with estimated maximum heights of over 90 m (300 ft) swept across neighboring islands in Japan and the Korean Peninsula. The eruption and its resulting tsunami killed at least 1,400 people. Damage was extreme along the coast of Japan, while in Korea, the tsunami damaged fishing boats.
The Tenmei eruption was a large eruption of Mount Asama that occurred in 1783. This eruption was one of the causes of the Tenmei famine. It is estimated that about 1,500–1,624 people were killed in the eruption. The event is known in Japanese as The Burning of Asama in Tenmei.
Mount Nyohō is a mountain in Japan located in Nikkō, on the island of Honshū, north of the Tokyo metropolitan area. This 2,483-metre (8,146 ft) stratovolcano is part of the Nikkō Mountains volcanic complex in Nikkō National Park. It emerged from the floor of Japan's volcanic arc about 560,000 years ago, when the formation of the Nikkō Mountains began, and ceased all volcanic activity 86,000 years ago. The Nyohō volcano has been the object of Shinto worship since time immemorial, and in the 7th century, in connection with the nearby Mount Nantai, it also became a sacred mountain of Buddhism by the will of the Buddhist monk Shōdō Shōnin, a mountain ascetic and propagator of the Buddha's teachings in the ancient province of Shimotsuke. The clerics of Futarasan jinja, a World Heritage Site, maintain it as a place of pilgrimage.
