Akita-Yakeyama Continuously Monitored by JMA Latitude: 39°57'50" N, Longitude: 140°45'25" E, Elevation: 1,366 m (Yakeyama) (Triangulation Point) Yunuma and Karanuma Area, taken from the southeast side on November 1, 2006 by the Japan Meteorological Agency. Karanuma is at the center, and Yunuma is at the upper left. Summary Akita-Yakeyama is a small, gently sloped (slope of 15° or less) stratovolcano, approximately 7 km in diameter, and with a relative height of approximately 700 m. The volcanic edifice is mainly of andesite. A summit crater (somma) 600 m in diameter is located at the summit area, and the Yakeyama summit (highest point) is located on its southwestern rim. The volcano has two dacite lava domes; one is the central cone, Onigajo dome, and the other on the southeastern rim of the crater. A flank volcanoe, Tsugamori, is located on the east side of the main volcanic edifice, discharging lava to the east. Another flank volcano, Kuroishimori, is located on the south side of the main volcanic edifice. The SiO2 content is between 56.9 and 70.8 wt %. The Yakeyama summit area exhibits strong alteration. Many hot springs are located in the summit crater and at the volcano foot. Tamagawa Onsen which is located at the western foot of the volcano is highly acidic hot spring, and is famous for the deposit, hokutolite (lead-bearing barite) which is designated as a special natural treasure. Climbers’ accident by volcanic gas was reported. Within the recorded history, eruptions have occurred at Onigajo and the northern explosion crater, and lahar flowed from Karanuma. -
