In addition to being listed on the 100 Famous Japanese Mountains by Akita Kuda, it's also selected for hundreds of flowers. From the crater of 62-II, which is in front of the 10th-west west of the peak, there is a burst of smoke, and the top of the mountain is covered with ash. Between the Mount Tokachi shelter and the top of the mountain, there's a low-level fire in the south of the Showa and the west of Mount Three.

It comes from the mountain name

It's a name derived from the mountain that's the source of the Tenai River.

The formation process

Ten-winter volcano masses were formed by volcanic rock caused by massive volcanic activity in the third quarter of the new age, as well as boulders, dinoflagellite permafros, condensing limestone, which was released by about a million years before the fourth century B.C.E. and around the fourth century C.E. From about 500,000 years ago, in the Southwest, there have been other volcanic volcanoes, such as former Togono and Fujino Fujisawa. Then, after the formation of such submersible volcanoes as Miyumi and Optateke in the northeastern part of the mountain, and Mount Hokukametak in the mountains, there arose the present - day high mountain of high - mountain lava that is the main body of Mount Tokachi. After that, the victorious volcano group entered its rest period and resumed its activity some ten thousand years ago. This new period of activity began in the formation of an adult volcano, such as Toshimoto. Then we'll open the fire to Mount Tokachi. The north-west ground crater, caused by the flow of lava some 3,000 years before the peak of activity, created a huge blast and lava flow that reached to the white gold hot springs at the foot of the northwest mountain some 200 years ago. Then there was the lava flow from the central craters on the ground fire and from the new craters, such as the fire, the fire, the fire, the fire, and the fire. The spring of these activities consists mainly of hard metal pumice, which covers the north and the northwest slopes of Mount Tokachi. Also, in the last 2,000 years, we've created a large flow of mud that is larger than once / 250 years in frequency.

Disaster prevention

If volcanic activity gets more active in wintertime, melting snow will cause more mud and mud currents to rise. Since the mud level in which the outbreak is concerned is so large that it is difficult to prevent it completely, there is a shelter on the high ground of the White Spring. There's a wizard map in progress that organizes telemetry observations, such as seismographs, earthquake readings, GPS readings, etc., etc., etc., etc.

Climbing

On March 27th, 1920, the Hokkaido School of Ski came up for the first snowfall. In the hundreds of people in the book's flowers, Ikes of alpine plants bloomed on this mountain and mountain roads.

The climb road

The climb routes of Mount Tokachi are diverse. A road is built up to relatively high altitudes, such as the desire stand, the hot springs, the Mount Tokachi hot springs, and the mountain areas are relatively high, and you can easily climb in summer by the average climber. So it's often used to climb groups of high school students, such as high school students who stay at the home of high school boys and high school students. On the other hand, mountain entrances from the snow-sowing new town and running by the mountains are extremely difficult and well suited for the challenge of the experienced climber. There are three main climb roads. Part of the area near the crater is still warm enough to exceed 300 degrees Fahrenheit. It's normal to follow the rules of entry, and it's also required to return to the situation.

It's the cabin around here

There's the next deserted shelter in the vicinity. Mount Tokachi shelter. A shelter at the top of the Holocamettk. Miho-san's shelter.

The inscription on the top of Mount Tokachi

On August 26, 1942, on the top of Mount Tokachi. Although the stela is made of "2600 years of age" (July 1942), it is not possible to raise the stone body by human force to the top of the mountain, but it is because the square stone stone is cut halfway into a triangle and climbs up the mountain in the following month. The altar's owner is Ojidani Hanazawa. Between February and March 1937, the Great Valley skis Hokkaido and stops by here to make a memorial document that has reached its peak in Mount Tokachi. The opening words of the poem on the scroll of Shinji. In later years, should he be able to interpret this inscription as, according to the Japanese Dictionnaire de Théo, "the appearance of the rich and the rich and the noble and the noble? " I understand that.

Sulfur mining

Good sulfur sulfur was mined from near the central crater hill. Just before the eruption of 1926, the Tokyo Shizuyama sulfur company ran the mine. Three minerals were operating under the contractor system, and many of the men came from Kyushu district. The mining period was reserved for about June to October because of snow. At the eruption in 1962, mining facilities were again destroyed, and most of the craters in the Great Fire vents were buried with a meteorite as a waste mine.

The monument to natural disasters

In July of 2019, two stone tablets from the Mount Tokachi eruption, as well as seven stela from the town of Suto Togo, were published on the Web map of the National Geographic as a monument to natural disasters.
