Tips about Owakudani
Nestled in Hakone, Owakudani offers a surreal experience with steam drifts and the tantalizing scent of sulfur, reminiscent of another world. The view of Mt. Fuji is simply awe-inspiring, especially on clear days. Indulge in the famous black eggs (kuro-tamago) for a delightful treat and perhaps an added seven years to your life, as local legend suggests. For best visits, opt for weekdays to avoid crowds, check the weather for optimal Fuji views, and come prepared with a jacket for the cooler, breezy ambiance. Despite the tourist-packed gift shops, Owakudani offers a unique blend of nature, culture, and light-hearted fun, making it a memorable stop in Hakone for families and adventurers alike.
