Japan's Volcanic Wonders

This collection highlights Hokkaidō's volcanic landforms, including andesitic stratovolcanoes, lava domes and calderas. Entries span coastal peaks like Mount Rishiri, the Shikotsu–Toya and Akan national park volcanoes, and post‑1940s features such as Shōwa‑shinzan. Several sites are monitored for activity or are part of larger volcanic complexes, offering geological variety from parasitic cones and lava domes to lake‑filled calderas.
