Mount Hiuchi, also Hiuchigatake ({{langx|ja|燧ヶ岳}}) is a 2,356 m tall stratovolcano in Oze National Park, and located in Hinoemata Village, Minami-Aizu gun, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. This is the highest mountain in Tōhoku region.{{Cite web|url=https://www.env.go.jp/en/nature/nps/park/oze/guide/view.html|title=Oze National Park_Guide of Highlights [MOE]}} The volcano rises in the north of {{ill2|Lake Ozenuma|ja|尾瀬沼}}. It is one of the 100 Famous Japanese Mountains.

Morphology

Hiuchi initially formed around 350,000 years ago. Around 160,000–170,000 years ago, Hiuchi erupted, creating a large pyroclastic flow deposit. At the summit of the volcano lie two lava domes, Akanagure (赤ナグレ) and Mi-ike (御池岳). Akanagure, the southern dome, produced a series of viscous lava flows that flowed down the southern and western parts of the volcano about 3500 years ago. Mi-ike is responsible for the only recorded activity.

Historic eruptions

The only recorded activity was on July 28, 1544. A moderate phreatic eruption at the Mi-ike Lava Dome produced lahars and an associated tephra layer.
