Owakudani was born from volcanic activity.

Owakudani is also famous as a hot spring source, and hot spring water is sent to various areas in Hakone. On the northern slope at an elevation of 800 to 1,000 meters, a plume of smoke is still rising. The dynamic activity of the volcano can be seen up close, and the area is crowded with tourists who come to witness it.


The "black egg" sold at the store is a lucky charm that is said to prolong one's life by seven years if eaten! Why not watch the volcanic activity while enjoying this famous product?
