Volcano in Hakone

I often recommend Owakudani for the foreign traveler.

Owakudani is one of the most beautiful area as famous as the lake Ashi in Hakone.

You will enjoy the view of Mt. Fuji with Hakone mountains and also the volcanic landscape created 400 thousand years ago.

So you can see mt.Fuji, volcano, and you can enjoy black eggs!

According to Japanese legend, every egg you eat will prolong your life by 7 years.
Kuro-tamago are very popular as a life-prolonging food.

One black egg for adding 7 years to your life.
Two black eggs for adding 14 years to your life....
It is highly recommended that you taste Kuro-tamago boiled in hot sulfurous mud water which is very specific to Owakudani.
