After yesterday’s eruption, the Japan Meteorological Agency announced Wednesday that volcanic tremors were observed on the day at Mt. Kusatsushirane in western Gunma Prefecture. The tremors forced the rescue team that was reached into the area for a check around 11.00 am to withdraw. The matter, as well as a danger for the inhabitants of the place, also involves economic damage because February is a high season for tourism and a plunge in the number of visitors now appears inevitable due to the eruption.
