The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) reported that the activity of the volcano continues since the last eruption at Nakadake crater on 7 January.
An ash plume rose 2,296 ft (700 m) above the crater rim and caused ashfall in areas downwind.
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions reached to a 1,500-4,900 tonnes/day.
The warning bulletin states that ballistic impacts of volcanic bombs and pyroclastic flows could affect an area of about 1 km distance from the crater.
