Kanagawa’s Mount Myojin-ga-take

Great views from all angles

In the near distance lies the one and only Mount Fuji

One of the first views when approaching the peak of Mount Myojin-ga-take

As you reach the summit the Ashigahara plains below become visible

When panning to the north it is possible to see the Tanzawa Mountain range in the distance

With such amazing views it was unsurprising to find other people here!

Couldn’t resist a last look at Japan’s most famous mountain!

Situated within the western limits of Kanagawa Prefecture lies the rugged peak of Mount Myojin-ga-take. Standing at 1169 meters high, this impressive mountain offers some truly exceptional panoramic views of the Ashigarara plains below.

Starting at Daiyuzan-Saijo-ji Temple, (a short bus ride away from Daiyuzan Station) and ending at Goro Station on the Hakone Tozan Line, this four hour plus hike offers something for everyone along with its star attraction - Mount Fuji in the near distance. Rising above the clouds like an island floating on the sea, it almost feels as if this majestic landmark is close enough to touch!

Hi Steve, thank you for this summary. But I read in other sites that there is another way to access to Mount Myojin-ga-take via Gora station. I am wondering which is a better route to go to the peak of Mount Myojin-ga-take at the end of November?
