#Register tripbest July hotel sleeper #July good places to go 2025 📍Location: Hakone-cho, Kanagawa Prefecture (Alight from Hakone ropeway "Owakuya Station") 🕒 Recommended length of stay: 1.5–2 hours Access: Hakone Mountain Cable Car → Gora Station change ropeway → Owakuya Station #Owakudani #BlackEggLegend #Hakone Attractions #Owakudani #MountFujiPhoto #SulfurValley ⸻ 🔥 Smell the earth as soon as you get off the car 🌏 (sulfur smell 😷) Owaku Valley is one of the most active areas of Hakone volcanic activity, the whole valley is smoking, the air is filled with a faint smell of sulfur, it feels like coming to the "portal to hell" in the movie😈 but it's actually super safe! Walking along the hillside you will see yellow sulfur crystals + hot spring steam columns, the most shocking thing is when you stand on the observation deck looking down, the whole valley is like the earth is breathing ~ really will be shocked by nature 💥 ⸻ 🥚 Can eating black eggs "extend your life for 7 years"? ! 😳 Legend has it that just eating one Owakudani black yuzu (that is, an egg cooked with a volcanic hot spring) can extend your life for seven years! ✨ 🔥 Live Black Egg Experience Highlights: • 5 pieces in a pack (¥500 or so), the crust is really black! • The egg flavor is particularly fragrant, the hot spring sulfur smell is very light, but not scary at all! • Perfect for one with your friends to take a "longevity photo"📸 ⸻ ⛰ Photo spot recommendations • Panoramic view of Mount Fuji on the Ropeway (remember to sit on the right!) • Otsugu Valley Observation Deck overlooks Smoky Valley (very “fairy”) • In front of the Black Egg Traffic Area "Black Jade Statue" + huge egg model • Backlit selfie behind volcanic smoke = mystery 🌫 ⸻ 🍘 Peripheral snacks + souvenir recommendations • Black egg shaped bun, black yuzu ice cream (really black!🍦) • There are selling black egg shaped key chains, black egg plush dolls, black egg magnets - can completely buy you bankruptcy • Senbei with the same black eggshell color (enough drama) ⸻ 💡Tips • It is recommended to avoid 12–2pm, Ropeway and egg stall people will be forced to explode 🚠 • Masks are recommended for friends with sulfur fumes and respiratory sensitivity • Remember to keep warm in winter, high altitude + strong wind, eating eggs in the wind will shiver 🥶 • Can't see Mount Fuji on cloudy days, check the weather forecast to book your trip! ⸻ 🎯 Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) Hakone Owaku Valley is an attraction where natural landscape and folklore blend perfectly! Visual shock + narrative culture + super many funny peripherals, fun and good to buy ~ I didn't live longer after eating black eggs, but gained 7 kg 🤣 (too many snacks...)
