Data from the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution
Details for: Sanbesan
Sanbe is the SW-most Holocene volcano on the island of Honshu. Seen here from the S, the highest peak is called Osanbe. It is flanked by Mesanbe on the right, Kosanbe on the left, and Magosanbe in the center. Sanbe had a large explosive eruption about 3,700 years ago that originated from Taiheizan lava dome.

Sanbesan stratovolcano, near the northern coast of SW Honshu, has a summit cut by a small caldera about 1 km in diameter. The highest point on the dacitic-to-andesitic volcano is O-Sanbe, at the northern end of the complex. There have been several large explosive eruptions during the Pleistocene and one strong Holocene eruption from the Taiheizan lava dome about 3,700 years ago. This eruption was accompanied by pyroclastic flows that swept down the NE-to-SE flanks and traveled 9 km down the Hayamizu River to the SW. Younger, undated eruptions have also occurred (Machida and Arai, 1992).
