Mount Mihara, Active volcano on Oshima Island, Japan
Mount Mihara rises 764 meters above sea level, featuring a central crater measuring 300 meters in diameter and 200 meters in depth.
The volcano experienced a significant eruption in 1986, leading to the evacuation of 10,000 residents from Oshima Island due to extensive lava flows.
Local inhabitants traditionally referred to the mountain as Gojinka-sama, considering it a sacred deity associated with volcanic manifestations and natural forces.
Visitors can access the volcano through the Obachi Meguri trail system, which provides guided tours and multiple observation points around the crater rim.
Mount Mihara belongs to a select group of three major effusive volcanoes worldwide, characterized by fluid lava flows rather than explosive eruptions.
