• Towada volcano is an active volcano located in the northern part of the Northeast Japan arc. Ogurayama Lava Dome (OLD), which is a dacitic lava dome located near the center of Towada volcano, has been regarded as a product of the latest eruptive episode A. In this paper, the author reports that the OLD is older than previously thought and that it was formed at the end of eruptive episode D'. The OLD overlies pyroclastic deposits of the eruptive episode E and is overlain by pyroclastic deposits of the eruptive episode C. These stratigraphic relations restrict the eruption age of the OLD to 9.2-6.2cal kyr BP. Within this time interval, two eruptive episodes (D' and D) are recognized as tephra fall deposits in the distal area. The distribution of Herai Ash from the eruptive episode D' shows that the source vent is located in the vicinity of the OLD. Furthermore, the petrological features of the OLD closely resemble those of the Herai Ash. These observations indicate that the OLD is the product of the eruptive episode D' (7.5cal kyr BP). The probable eruption sequence of the eruptive episode D' is as follows. Intermittent phreatomagmatic eruptions occurred in the earliest stage. These eruptions produced the lower part of the Herai Ash. Subsequent lava eruptions formed the OLD and accompanied intermittent vulcanian eruptions produced the main part of the Herai Ash. The source vent of the eruptive episode A is not the Ogurayama, because the Ogurayama was formed before this episode. Since the only crater topography currently recognized in the Towada volcano is the Nakanoumi crater (NC), the source vent of the eruptive episode A is considered to be the NC. Since the NC has been the main crater throughout the post-caldera stage, future eruptions will probably occur in the NC. There is the current NC at the bottom of the lake of 320m in depth. A detailed examination of probable eruption style in the future will be required for predicting volcanic hazard of Towada volcano.
