GETTYThe erupting volcano risks hurling large rocks into nearby towns on Kyushu island
According to BBC News, however, these otherwise cumbersome eruptions turned explosive and risky on Saturday when magma and flying rock began spewing forth from the crater.
On Saturday the country's meteorological agency issued new warnings, saying flying rocks could now be expected to reach a 4km radius around the volcano.
The volcanic alert for Shinmoedake was kept at Level 3, which restricts entry to the volcano, part of the Kirishima mountain range straddling Miyazaki and Kagoshima prefectures.
The last major eruption occurred in 2011, forcing hundreds to leave their homes in the area.
The agency said this was a result of large explosions which happened at 1.54am (4.54pm on Friday Irish time) and at 4.27am local time. Large rocks were hurled as far as 1,800 meters from the crater.

One of Japan's most risky volcanoes, Shinmoedake has been shooting ash and smoke into the air for five days, restricting entry to the 4,660ft mountain and causing the cancellation of flights from the nearby Kagoshima Airport.
Volcanic explosions continued, causing vibrations of glass and other objects over a wide area due to wind generated by the explosions.
Molten lava flowed over the northwestern side of the volcano.
Local residents have been warned about the risk of large flying rocks and fears have been raised that the volcanic activity could continue for months.
