Estimating landslide dynamics is vital for the prevention of landslide disasters. Differential interferometric synthetic aperture radar (DInSAR) based on L-band SAR satellites is an effective tool for estimating the dynamics of forested landslides that occur in Japan. High-temporal L-band SAR observations have been planned for the future. Thus, it is necessary to further investigate the specific advantages of high-temporal L-band SAR observations for estimating landslide dynamics. In this study, we used DInSAR data with different time windows to identify active landslides in Hokkaido, Japan. This study is the first attempt to demonstrate the advantages of high-temporal L-band SAR observations for estimating active landslide dynamics. We successfully observed the dynamics of two active landslides, Kounai-1 and Kounai-2, using DInSAR over a time window of 14 days. We present the first spatial observation of the dynamics of Kounai-1 and Kounai-2. In addition, we discuss the dynamics of Kounai-1 and Kounai-2 based on interferograms, and our results suggest that both landslides are subunits of the same landslide, called the Kounai landslide. These results indicate that high-temporal L-band SAR observations can mitigate cycle slips and enable the estimation of active landslide dynamics.
