Mt. Myoujin is located on the south-west part of Toei. It has an elevation of 1,016 meters. The mountain is located on the border of of Toei and Horai. Mt. Myoujin is a mountain representative of Aichi prefecture. "Myoujin," is a name of a praising god. The mountain is an object of a local religion. For many years, many followers have climbed the mountain. Today, Myoujin has a good reputation as a tramping course because of its alpine like features. The stratum of the mountain, which was formed by the upthrust movement of a seamount, has the characteristics of a 2,000 meter high mountain. Such characteristics include sparse rocks of rhyolite and andesite. You can enjoy the thrill of walking beside these rocks even though Myoujin is not a very high mountain. Snowfall on the mountain in winter is rare, so hikers can enjoy climbing all year round. From spring to early summer, flowers of Doudan-tsutsuji (Enkianthus perulatus) grace the tramping routes. Notice : Climbing Mt. Myoujin is a popular activity, however, if you are inexperienced or are climbing during dangerous weather conditions, use extra care. Please plan wisely and do not climb without an experienced climber. |

| The tramping routes are variegated with woods, rocks, and chain ladders, so you may not be bored. The huge rock face will provide you a good viewpoint and a rest spot. |
