Akita-Komagatake, Active volcano in Towada-Hachimantai National Park, Japan

Mount Akita-Komagatake rises to 1,637 meters above sea level, forming multiple peaks composed of andesite and basalt at the border of Akita Prefecture.

The most recent volcanic activity occurred between September 1970 and January 1971, marking the last recorded eruption in this section of Honshu Island.

The mountain paths contain information centers where visitors learn about local plants, including the northern Japanese primrose and deep pink komakusa dicentra.

Regular buses depart from JR Tazawako Station to Komagatake Eighth Station, with a journey time of approximately one hour and thirty minutes.

From late September through early October, the mountain slopes display fall colors while offering views of Mount Chokaisan, Mount Iwate, and Lake Tazawa.
