The small Kanpu stratovolcano lies on the Oga Peninsula along the western coast of Honshu NW of Akita City. It was at one time considered to be Holocene, but later work has shown it to be late Pleistocene. Accounts of radiocarbon dates of about 2,700 years BP for a pumice eruption followed by a pyroclastic flow (Hasenaka et al., 1992) have been revised, and the report on the 1810 "eruption" submitted to the Shognate was created by the people of the Akita Clan in Edo (present Tokyo) in order to receive reimbursement for damaged crops. Nakano et al. (2001-) list the age of Kanpu as less than 30,000 years, and Kudo and Hoshizumi (2006-) listed no Holocene eruptions. Kanpu produced mostly andesites (Notsu, 1983).
