Hokkaido:
Showashinzan is a volcanic lava dome in the Shikotsu-Toya National Park, Hokkaido, next to Mt. Usu. The mountain was created between 1944 and 1945. Initially, a series of strong earthquakes shook the area, and wheat fields were rapidly uplifted. Lava broke through the surface and the current peak was created. The peak is now 398 m (1,306 ft) tall, and still actively smoking.
