Haku-san volcano (白山, or Mount Haku, Hakusan) is one of the 3 holy mountains in Japan (along with Fuji and On-take). It is a stratovolcano in central Honshu 260 km NW of Tokyo.
the volcano last erupted in 1659, but many eruptions have been recorded during the 1000 years prior to this.
Haku-san National Park is the most scenic part of the Hokuriku area known for its heavy snowfall. Most of the park is a protected wilderness area.

Introduction

Haku-san volcano is a complex andesitic-dacitic stratovolcano which was constructed over a high basement of sedimentary rocks. Eruptions in the past 10,000 years consisted of phreatic or phreatomagmatic explosions from several summit craters.
Partial collapse of the summit produced a debris avalanche that came down the east flank ca. 5,000 years ago.

Éruptions volcaniques importantes: volcano Haku-san

In the past 10,000 years, Haku-san has had at least 20 confirmed volcanic eruptions, out of which 10 are documented by historical records, while the others can be inferred from geological evidence.
Additionally, there are 6 uncertain or discredited eruptions from Haku-san volcano.

The table below lists all known eruptions (date in bold face) of Haku-san volcano since around 4000 BC. Updates on the most recent volcanic activity of Haku-san can be found on the news page of Haku-san volcano.

Remark:

Our list of volcanic eruptions closely follows the database of eruptions of the Smithsonian's Global Volcanism Project (GVP), the internationally most recognized data source for volcanic eruptions, but also includes significant eruptive episodes or related volcano events. "Volcanic eruptions" are usually to be understood as sequences of individual eruptive episodes that can follow each other, or even overlap (if several vents are involved), and can last many years, decades or even longer. For example, the current activity of Stromboli volcano is understood as a single eruption that has been ongoing since 1934.
