1 Day Visit to Hakone from Tokyo
A One Day Travel Guide Owakudani, Hakone for Couple
1) Owakudani, Volcanic Valley, Black Eggs + Mount Fuji
Ōwakudani is a volcanic valley with active sulphur vents and hot springs in Hakone, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. It is a popular tourist site for its scenic views, volcanic activity, and especially, Kuro-tamago (黒卵, lit. “black egg“) — a local specialty of eggs hard-boiled in the hot springs. Read more at wiki.
2) Hot Spring
We had a private hot spring, near Hakone Station. Definitely worth the trip to have a private hot spring after visiting Owakudani.
