On November 17, 1990 Mt. Unzen Fugendake erupted after being dormant for 198 years. The pyroclastic flows (numbering 9,432) lasted for 5 1/2 years with the last flow occurring on May 1, 1996.
Mizunashi-Honjin Fukae is a road station preservation park for some of the houses affected by the debris flows.

Amazing that the houses didn't just burn up! So interesting.
J, Wow seeing houses buried like that is haunting. It's like Pompei. Those type of eruptions are the worse because the force behind it is powerful and incredibly fast. I hope they evacuated. -N
How amazing the houses still look intact after all these years. The upkeep must be what keeps everything intact since it’s a tourist attraction.
wow amazing to see but sad too
I went to look at something like this in Hokkaido. Unreal, but lucky flow was slow enough to safely evacuate.

Just nothing you can do, yah.
Now that you mention it, how did the foundations not burn up?
I think they had enough time to escape harm.
Was kinda eerie looking at the buried homes.
So sad to think that so many people lost their homes.
I didn't know that there is something similar in Hokkaido.
