Otake, Stratovolcano in Toshima, Japan
The Otake volcano rises to 979 meters above sea level, presenting a distinct profile on Nakanoshima island in the Tokara archipelago.
The southeast flank of Otake supported sulfur mining operations until 1944, demonstrating the industrial significance of this geological formation.
The mountain received the name Tokara Fuji from local residents due to its resemblance to the shape of Mount Fuji.
During the rainy season, water accumulates in the summit crater of Otake, forming a temporary lake at the highest point.
The volcano produced a notable mud eruption in January 1914, followed by an ash cloud emission from the summit crater in October 1949.
