Kanegawa alluvial fan

Japanese: 金川扇状地 - かねがわせんじょうち
Kanegawa alluvial fan

...The fault lines on the northern Chichibu Mountains side are covered by volcanoes and are unclear, but they are clearly separated from the Misaka Mountains to the east and the Koma Mountains, which are the vanguard of the Akaishi Mountains to the west. Numerous alluvial fans have been formed at the foot of these mountains, and the Midai River alluvial fan in the west and the Kanakawa alluvial fan in the east are known as typical ones. Behind the alluvial fans are higher plateaus such as the Ichinose Plateau in the west and the Sone Hills in the south.

*Some of the terminology that refers to the "Kanagawa Fan" is listed below.
