Mount Sodehira, Mountain summit in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan

Mount Sodehira is a summit in Kanagawa Prefecture that rises to approximately 1,432 meters (4,700 feet) above sea level. The mountain is crossed by several marked trails that pass through thick forests and lead to viewpoints along the way.

Mount Sodehira lies on the northern main ridge of the Tanzawa Mountains, in Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture, within Tanzawa-Oyama Quasi-National Park. Until the end of the Showa era it was usually called simply Sodehira, without the suffix yama; a report from the 10th National Sports Festival records the form "Sodehira no Kashira", which suggests the mountain suffix was not yet in use. The Shinshō Sagami no Kuni Fudoki notes the reading Sode-taira.

The name was long written simply as Sodehira, without the character for mountain; a report on the 10th National Sports Festival records the form "Sodehira-no-kashira". The old provincial gazetteer Shinpen Sagami no Kuni Fudoki notes the reading Sode-taira. The mountain is also called Sodehira.

Hikers should wear sturdy footwear and bring weather-appropriate clothing, as conditions can change quickly on the mountain. It is best to stay on marked trails and carry adequate water and snacks for the climb.
