Shinmoedake

新燃岳

霧島山（新燃岳）レベル２（火口周辺規制） · issued October 17 at 11:00

Kobayashi, Miyazaki · Elevation 1,421 m

Shinmoedake is a 1,421 m active stratovolcano in Kobayashi City, Miyazaki Prefecture, near the boundary with Kirishima City in Kagoshima Prefecture, lying at the centre of the Kirishima volcanic group. It bears a roughly 750 m diameter circular crater and has erupted repeatedly in recent years — notably in 2011, 2018 and again in June 2025 — so the Japan Meteorological Agency's volcanic alert levels translate into ongoing access restrictions around the summit. The peak lies entirely within Kirishima-Kinkōwan National Park.
