Owakudani offers a unique experience with incredible views of the active volcano. The area can be crowded but provides a chance to try the famous black eggs and witness the volcanic activity up close.

What to do: Visit the volcanic valley with active sulfur vents, try the black eggs, enjoy the breathtaking views, and take photos, especially of Mount Fuji on a clear day.
What to eat: Try the black eggs cooked by volcanic activity - a local delicacy believed to extend life by 7 years.
What to avoid: Be prepared for long queues for attractions like the Ropeway, black eggs, and restrooms due to tourist crowds.
Tips to enhance your experience: Plan to visit early in the day to avoid traffic jams, dress warmly as it can get cold and windy, and be patient with the drive up the mountain. Consider exploring alternative routes to get closer to the pristine nature surrounding the mountain.
