Akagi volcan est un stratovolcan large central Honshu, 110 km NNO de Tokyo. Elle fait partie de la Par préfectoral Akagi. Le volcan contient une caldeira de sommet 3 x 4 km de diamètre qui contient le lac Ono dans le NE. Il est incertain si le volcan a éclaté au cours des années 2000. Rapports sur l'activité possible au IXe siècle, en 1251 et 1938 sont considérés comme peu fiables.
The broad, low dominantly andesitic Akagi volcano rises above the northern end of the Kanto Plain. It contains an elliptical, 3 x 4 km summit caldera with post-caldera lava domes arranged along a NW-SE line. Lake Ono is located at the NE end of the caldera. An older stratovolcano was partially destroyed by edifice collapse, producing a debris-avalanche deposit along the south flank. A series of large plinian eruptions accompanied growth of a second stratovolcano during the Pleistocene. Construction of the central cone in the late-Pleistocene summit caldera began following the last of the plinian eruptions about 31,000 years ago. During historical time unusual activity was recorded on several occasions during the 9th century, but reported eruptions in 1251 and 1938 are considered uncertain.
