Total and continuing denudation rates were estimated using cosmogenic nuclides and intensive field observations of sediment transport in two small basins (C3 and S3) from the Ashio Mountains, Japan. The C3 basin underlain by Triassic bedded chert, while the S3 basin has evolved in altered Jurassic sandstone-shale. Continuing denudation rates were estimated from the records of coarse sediment transport and stream discharge for 6 years (2004–2009), soil grain-size distribution, and dissolved load in stream water. A debris flow was observed and the volume was measured in C3 (chert). Concentrations of cosmogenic10Be and26Al in fluvial sand were measured to determine spatially-averaged total denudation rates for these basins on the basis of steady-state assumption. Continuing denudation rate for C3 (chert) basin excluding the debris-flow mass accounted for ~75% of the total denudation rate as measured from the cosmogenic nuclides. Assuming a difference between the total and continuing denudation rates indicates the impact of repeat debris flows, the debris flows with the observed magnitude (the mass of 24 t) occur with the recurrence intervals of 100–550 years (mean 167 years) for C3 (chert) basin. For S3 (sandstone) basin, the continuous denudation rates were significantly smaller than the total rates, where debris flow had not occurred for at least 17 years. The large gap in the denudation rates with different time scales shows contribution of higher magnitude debris-flow events with longer recurrence intervals.
