Akita-Yakeyama, Active volcano in Kazuno and Semboku, Japan
Akita-Yakeyama rises to 1366 meters with a 600-meter-wide summit crater containing a small lava dome named Onigajo at its center point.
The volcano records 16 confirmed eruptions over 10,000 years, with the most powerful occurring in 1929, reaching level 2 on the Volcanic Explosivity Index.
The name Yakeyama translates to 'Burning Mountain' in Japanese, reflecting the continuous volcanic activity that shapes the regional identity of northern Honshu.
Visitors require specific permits and weather condition checks before accessing the hiking trails that lead through varied terrains to observation points.
The western foot of the mountain houses Tamagawa spa, containing springs with measurable radioactive properties and mineral-rich thermal waters.
