*1: The south neighboring volcano, Kita-Yokodake, is recognized to be active.
Both volcanoes and Yatsugatake in the narrow sense are members of Yatsugatake Volcano Group.
*2: Washibaike Pond just below the summit of Washiba Dake is a explosion crater.
The volcano is now unrecognized to be active by JMA, though fumarolic activity is vigorous at Io Zawa (River), south of Washiba Dake.
*3: Murodo and Jigokudani Valley (at the western foot of Mt. Tateyama) are parts of Tateyama Volcano,
though Mt. Tateyama itself is not volcanic (volcano name by JMA is "Midagahara")
*4: These mountains are composed of Quaternary volcanic rocks with no volcanic structure. This Quaternary volcano name is Hotakadake.
