To clarify the age of the volcanic activity of Nekodake volcano, the authors conducted K-Ar dating on ten samples of volcanic materials, using the sensitivity method. Four samples yielded ages approximately 50 to 82 ka. These newly obtained K-Ar age data indicate that Nekodake volcano was active during the post-caldera stage of Aso volcano. Based on the obtained ages, petrological characteristics, and lithofacies, the volcanism of Nekodake can be summarized as follows. 1) Effusive eruption of basaltic andesite magma produced thick lava flows at about 82 ka, and also formed agglutinates over a wide area at about 66 ka. The main volcanic body was formed by these eruptions. 2) Andesitic magma intruded the central part of the volcano at about 64 ka (late stage or just after the formation of the main part) forming dykes in an ENE-SSW direction. 3) Basaltic andesite magma intruded the central part of the volcano at about 50 ka and formed dykes in a NW-SE direction.
