On Wednesday Japanese authorities increased the alarm level from 1 to 2. One is normal, 2 is a level advising regulated entries. This is for Mount Halone, a tourism hotspot southwest of Japanese capital city, Tokyo.

The number of volcanic earthquakes there on Tuesday reached 116, the most ever recorded in one day.

A possible small eruption could impact the nearby Owakudani hot-spring district and calling on visitors and loocals to stay away from potentially dangerous areas.

The local town office issued an evacuation order for a 300-metre radius around Owakudani and closed the road leading to the area. It revised the evacuation area from the initially announced 700 metres.

The operator of Hakone Ropeway suspended a portion of its service running through Owakudani.

Caution is advised over ash deposits and rocks that could rain down on the area if an eruption occurs.

Seismic activity has been increasing since April 26 in the Mt Hakone region, a popular spot for tourists and hikers in Kanagawa prefecture, with tremors originating from areas around Owakudani.

Meteorological agency officials have become more concerned after the last of the three tremors was focused deeper than the earlier ones, raising the possibility of a steam eruption.

A geological survey of Mt Hakone has suggested that there was an eruption in the 12th century near Owakudani, but there has been no record of subsequent eruptions in the area.

Volcanic activity in Hakone last increased notably in 2001, causing minor quakes and crustal deformation for about four months.
