Hokkaidō Koma-ga-take, Active stratovolcano in Hokkaido, Japan

Located between Mori, Shikabe, and Nanae towns, this andesite volcano rises to an elevation of 1,131 meters above sea level.

The volcanic activity began 30,000 years ago, with over 50 recorded events since its reactivation in the seventeenth century.

The name translates to 'horse mountain' in Japanese, representing an essential natural landmark for both early settlers and indigenous Ainu communities.

Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit, requiring proper equipment and attention to weather conditions for safe exploration.

The volcano released its last eruption between September and November 2000, confirming its status as an active geological formation.
