There's no literature on the eruption, but it's clear from the study of the eruptions that some 500 years ago, a day-site mamma and a lava dome formed. It's estimated that there was an eruption at the same time in 1980. It's also estimated that there was a small explosion in the pond in Kasai about 1544.

This is estimated to be lahars caused by a steam eruption caused by a steam eruption in the estuary.
Climbing

In the year 1890, he opened a field cabin in Randon dashi, which is commonly referred to as the "year of Mt. Fuji. " By 2010, there are four mountain roads from four directions. Because it's covered in the forest, there's little desire for it until we get close to the top. There's no cabin in the mountains again.
