Mount Adatara

Mount Adatara (安達太良山, Adatara-yama) is a stratovolcano in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan.

It is located about 15 kilometres southwest of the city of Fukushima and east of Mount Bandai.

[1] An eruption in 1900 killed 72 workers at a sulfur mine located in the summit crater.

It is the highest peak in the Adatara range, which stretches about 9 km in a north-south direction.

Poems about Mount Adatara by Kōtarō Takamura from his book "Chieko-sho" helped make it famous.
