Q54. I’ve heard that Mount Fuji may erupt in coming decades, according to the news. Is it true？

A. Thank you very much for your question. I think what you saw on the TV was not an eruption forecasting but envisioned disaster simulations. Although Mt. Fuji still has potential to erupt in the future and its volcanic activity is monitored 24 hours, no conclusive forecasting in a decadal time scale is possible at the present level of volcanology.
