Mt. Myōjō
明星ヶ岳
Odawara, Kanagawa / Hakone, Kanagawa · Elevation 924 m
Mt. Myōjō is a 924 m peak on the boundary of Hakone Town and Odawara City in Kanagawa Prefecture, part of the older outer caldera rim of the Hakone Volcano left behind by the collapse roughly 18,000 years ago. The name is said to come from the morning star (Venus) glittering above its ridge as seen from Odawara, and it is locally also called Daimonji-yama for the giant 大 character lit on its slope every August 16 during the Hakone-Gōra Daimonji-yaki summer festival. Within Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, the summit is reached by maintained trails from Miyagino or Tōnosawa.
