Hiuchigatake Latitude: 36°57'18" N, Longitude: 139°17'07" E, Elevation: 2,356 m (Shibayasugura) (GSI Measuring Point) Overview of Hiuchigatake taken from the southeast side on October, 1999 by the Japan Meteorological Agency Summary Hiuchigatake is a stratovolcano located in the southwest corner of Fukushima Prefecture, northeast of Ozegahara, on the borders of the Fukushima, Gunma, and Niigata prefectures. The basement rock measures 8 km x 6 km, and it has a relative height of approximately 700 m. A crater with a diameter of approximately 800 m is located at its summit. It is mainly composed of andesitic and dacitic rock (Watanabe, 1989; Yokose, 1989; Hayakawa et al., 1997). The Mokake pyroclastic flow deposits and Hiuchigatake-Nanairi pumice were both formed between 150,000 and 200,000 years ago (Yamamoto, 1999; Suzuki et al., 2004), indicating that activity had already begun at Hiuchigatake. During the Holocene epoch one debris avalanche and several magmatic eruptions are considered to have occurred. However, with the exception of the phreatic eruption deposits of approximately 500 years ago, no records or radioactive dates have been available, and the activity periods of individual eruptions are not known in detail. A debris avalanche formed Ozenuma at the southeast foot of the volcano (Watanabe, 1989; Hayakawa et al, 1997). The most recent eruption known is the phreatic one which caused flooding th in the 16 century, for which historical records exist (Hayakawa, 1994). Immediately before this eruption the Miikedake lava dome is considered to have formed at the summit (Hayakawa et al., 1997).
