Mount Rausu

Mount Rausu (羅臼岳, Rausu-dake) is a stratovolcano on the Shiretoko Peninsula in Hokkaidō, Japan. It sits on the border between the towns of Shari and Rausu. Mount Rausu is the northeasternmost Holocene volcano on Hokkaidō. It is one of the 100 famous mountains in Japan.

Mount Rausu's opening festival is held annually on July 3. This day officially opens the climbing season.

In the past 2,200 years Mount Rausu is believed to have erupted thrice, with a Plinian Eruption roughly 1,400 years ago and a pyroclastic flow about 500 years ago.
