Keywords:deep-seated landslide, occurrence interval, incised-valley-fill deposits, drilling survey, southwest Japan, ,Late Pleistocene

The large deep-seated Kanagi Landslide in the Kochi Prefecture, southwest Japan occurred in the Edo Age, deduced from old documents. However, our drilling surveys of dammed sediments revealed that the landslide occurred primary in Late Pleistocene. An incised-valley-fill deposits downstream of the landslide was composed of wave-cut bench and flood plain deposits, in ascending sequence. No landslide-related facies and radiocarbon ages in such deposits suggested that the landslides occurred twice in Late Pleistocene and Edo Age and interval is during more than ten thousands years.
