Shirataka is an andesitic-to-dacitic stratovolcano NW of the Zao volcanic massif. Shiratakayama was active about 0.9-0.7 million years ago. Growth of a stratovolcano was followed by emplacement of a pyroclastic flow and growth of lava domes. Late-stage collapse produced a large debris avalanche and formed a 4-km-wide breached crater.
