How many deaths are caused in japan by volcanoes?

While Japan is known for its high volcanic activity, the rate of fatalities directly attributable to volcanic eruptions is quite low. Over the past several decades, Japan has implemented proactive measures, including risk communication, volcanic monitoring, and evacuation systems, to reduce the loss of life during eruptions.

For instance, between 1950 and 2019, during periods with significant volcanic activity in Japan, statistics report fewer than 40 causalities. This relatively low number, compared to some other seismically active regions in the world, highlights the successful volcanic risk management protocols of Japan's institutions and emergency response teams.
