Geological HeritageToyooka City

Kannabe Volcano

The Kannabe volcano is considered to be the newest volcano in the Kinki region, with a crater still remaining on the top of the mountain. Volcanic activity stopped almost 22,000 years ago, and it is inactive now. A great amount of lava flowed out from the Kannabe volcano and flowed down to the Maruyama River along the Inaba River. The lava was hard, so that many beautiful waterfalls were formed in the Inaba River. You can enjoy various kinds of nature activities in Kannabe highland, such as lava trekking, skiing and snow shoe walking on the slope of the volcano.

(1)Mt. Kannabe
It is the newest volcano in Kinki region, but inactive for almost 22,000 years. A crater remains on the top of the scoria cone.

(2)Hattandaki Waterfalls
A waterfall with a 24m water head. It was formed by a bank of the lava flown from the Kannabe Volcano.

(3)Lava tube
A cave made of lava, where only the outer part of the lava hardened and remained while emptying the inside. The temperature inside is stable, so that local people use the cave as a natural refrigerator to preserve vegetables and fruits. Able to visit only with a guide.
