The prominent Shimokita Peninsula is located at the NE tip of Honshu just above and to the left of the center of this NASA Space Shuttle image, with N (and part of the island of Hokkaido) to the upper left. The volcano is Pleistocene in age, although fumarolic activity continues. Osoreyama volcano lies below Mutsu-Hiuchidake near the southern coast of the peninsula, north of Mutsu Bay.
