  1. DRE volumes of tephras were calculated by assuming deposit density of 1.0 g/cm3 and dense rock density of 2.5 g/cm3. Eruption rates during the last 3.4 ky (Total 1) and 34 ky (Total 2) were estimated. N.D. signifies no data available
  2. Data were referred from the following sources: a Kawachi et al. (1978), b Okuno and Kobayashi (2010), c Oishi (2015), d Oishi and Suzuki (2004)
