Nekoma Volcano, situated between Bandai Volcano and the Aizu Basin in northeast Japan, is a composite volcano of andesite to dacite with a total eruption volume of 16 km3. A horseshoe-shaped caldera a few km in radius was formed at the top of the volcano, and the volcanic activity is divisible into the Old Nekoma Volcano established before the caldera forming event from ca. 1 Ma to 0.6 Ma and the New Nekoma Volcano established after the caldera forming event after ca. 0.5 Ma. Old Nekoma Volcano is subdivided into Oguninuma north lava, Hayama lavas, Hagidaira pyroclastic flow (block and ash flow) deposit, Main cone lavas, Oguniyama lavas and Ougigamine lavas, in ascending stratigraphic order. They formed a flat cone-shaped volcano. All but the Ougigamine lavas were produced by summit eruptions and the Ougigamine lavas formed monogenetic volcanoes from several vents on the western flank. New Nekoma Volcano, erupted after Oshizawa debris avalanche deposit, which related to the caldera forming event, is composed of Nekomagatake lavas and 1349 m lavas occurred at the horseshoe-shaped caldera margin.

Kuju Volcano (1, 786m high) consists of dacitic lava domes and the associated non-welded pyroclastic flow deposits, Handa pyroclastic flow deposits, covering 60 km<sup>2</sup> area (Fig.2). The original vents of the pyroclastic flow deposits, whose age is estimated to be 0.04 Ma, have not been located. The volume is about 2km<sup>3</sup>. They contain pumice and accessory lithic fragments and very seldom show welding. At the upper and the basal parts of one flow unit, imbrications of pumice and lithic fragments are well developed with 10°-20°dip against the flow unit boundary (Figs. 4, 5). This dip (Table 1) is apparently not as steep as that of the other pyroclastic flow deposits. Imbrications are clearly observed at 6-12km from the center of the lava domes, while the distribution of the pyroclastic flow deposits covers 4-13km from the center (Fig. 7). The pyroclastic flows ran down 1000m in a vertical distance. The method of determining the flow direction by imbrication is very simple as shown in Fig. 6. Imbrication is most visible from the direction (a) perpendicular to the flow direction on the surface of each outcrop. The flow direction (f) is determined by the bisector (f') of the error angle 2θ formed by the two directions (b, c), between which imbrication is not observed. Data are classified into 3 ranks by the error angle θ as shown in Table 1. The flow directions at 52 outcrops (Table 2) are shown by classified arrows in Fig. 7. The estimated flow-direction patterns are largely divided into the north-flank flows and the south-flank flows (Fig. 7). The north-flank pyroclastic flow deposits flowed along the 2 km-wide major valley on ca 2°slope shown in K-L profile in Figs. 8, 10. Then it diverged to the west at the outlet of the valley, and finally collected in a small basin in the west. Such flow directions suggest that the flow was not derived from the adjacent domes D, E, F in Fig. 7. On the south flank, a fan-shaped pattern of the flow direction is generally observed. But the flows toward Aso volcano are sharply separated into two flows at the boundary between Kuju and Aso ("col" in Figs 7, 9). This is because the flow had not enough power to rush up the very gentle slope of Aso volcano. The evidence shows that the southward flow gradually bent 120°, and it rapidly went down eastward on the south flank. At Takenohata (n. in Fig. 7) this eastward flow crossed the southward flow. At this cross point, lower outcrops show eastward flow (A-B profile in Fig. 8), and higher ones show southward flow (C-D profile) as shown in Fig. 11. This means that after the eastward flow filled the old valley extending in east-west direction, the later pyroclastics flowed southward over the older deposits forming a fan-shaped deposit. Data clearly suggest that the vent for the pyroclastics is located within the circle around A, B, C lava domes, and not in the other domes. The flow directions indicated by imbrications agree with the distribution of the pyroclastic flow deposits. Pyroclastic flows follow the previous topographic relief such as valley, fan, and col. Kuju Volcano may not have emitted the flooded sheet-flows in all directions, but have emitted the tongue-shaped flows intermittently to different directions.

The late Cretaceous Koto Rhyolite is divided into two groups according to the succession. Each group forms an igneous cycle. The older group consists of the Kaiwara Welded Tuff and the Hatasho Quartz Porphyry, and their relationship is transitional in the field showing their co-magmatic origin. The Kaiwara Welded Tuff erupted apparently first as vesiculated magma from the top of the magma_??_reservoir followed by the intrusive phase of the Hatasho Quartz Porphyry. There are enrichment of phenocrysts such as quartz and alkali feldspar in the Kaiwara Welded Tuff, whereas plagioclase phenocrysts are more commo in the Hatasho Quartz Porphyry. The K/Rb ratios of the whole rocks are larger in the Hatasho Quartz Porphyry than in the Kaiwara Welded Tuff. The younger group consisting of the Yatsuoyama Pyroclastic Rock and the Inugami Granite Porphyry is also considered to be of co-magmatic origin although obvious intimate relationship of the two units could not be observed in the field. The differences between them in the composition of phenocryst minerals and K/Rb ratio of the whole rocks are similar to and somewhat larger than those between the Kaiwara Welded Tuff and the Hatasho Quartz Porphyry. The Inugami Granite Porphyry of the last igneous activity intruded along the ring faults whose center subsided stepwise and resulted in a double ring dike about 30km across. Thus the Koto Cauldron was composed. Natural remanent magnetism through the Koto Rhyolite suggests a clock-wise movement of the area during its igneous activity.
