The mean diameter of the asteroid was calculated to be 33.061 km (± 0.197). The albedo of 0.040 (± 0.008) indicates a dark surface.
(2330) Ontake was at 1 March 1981 after the stratovolcano Ontake named, which is located near the Kiso Observatory. The dedication emphasizes the first ontake eruption in known history in October 1979. Other asteroids named with reference to the Kiso observatory are (2271) Kiso , (2470) Agematsu , (2924) Mitake-mura and (2960) Ohtaki .
