Kuro-tamago (black eggs)
The kuro-tamago, or black eggs, of Owakudani are as famous as they are terrible to look at. You might wonder if it’s really worth it to eat the sulfur-pit boiled egg, but be at ease; the eggs are tasty and perfectly safe. It’s believed that eating just one will add 7 years to your life.
View from Owakudani’s Visitor Center
Owakudani’s Visitor Center is said to be one of the best places to see Mt. Fuji from. It’s true that the viewpoint has given some amazing shots of the famed Mt. Fuji—be sure to check weather forecasts for clear skies or you may be sorely disappointed.
Hakone Ropeway
Ride 130 meters above Hakone’s Owakudani on the Hakone Ropeway. The suspended car will take you to and from Owakudani’s lookout point; up and down either side of the mountain. The view from the Lake Ashi side can offer beautiful views of Mt. Fuji and the lake, while the ropeway over Owakudani itself gives some truly terrific shots of the valley.

Owakudani seems like it is out of this world, never seen anything like it before. We tried some of the black eggs that are boiled in the hot sulfur springs - so now we have 7 extra years to live! :)

Must-see if you visit the Hakone area! The ropeway ride up the mountain provides great views of the surroundings and of Mount Fuji, and Owakudani itself is a really unique spot to stop at!
Kate
such a nice experience with the rope way. You can see the activity of the volcano and you can try the black eggs. I like the collecting of the stamps around the rope way stations, really cool idea.
