[2025 Hakone Restaurant] Travel Guide for Tamago Chaya (Updated Jul)

Well, you can't come halfway around the world and not try this popular distinctive egg. It is unique in that it is black being boiled in the hot sulfur water but that does not affect the taste of the egg. At least it wasn't expensive and it comes with a auspicious wish after the purchase and consumption of product. Its a good gimmick and such a money maker! #awesomepic #themepark

#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...)

One-day tour to Mount Fuji ~ driver is nice and the itinerary is rich👍
