Shiribetsu volcano, located immediately SE of Yotei volcano in southwestern Hokkaido, is a small, 1107-m-high andesitic stratovolcano that contains a 1.5-km-wide crater breached widely to the west. It was created by a massive debris avalanche that removed the summit and swept more than 7 km to the west, forming a hummocky deposit at the SE foot of Yotei volcano. Shiribetsu volcano was mapped as Holocene in age (Japan Association of Quaternary Research, 1987), however Nakano et al. (2001-) list its age as several hundred thousand years.
