“Black Eggs” in Owakudani Valley

We will take everyone to eat boiled eggs at Owakudani Valley in Hakone City, Kanagawa Prefecture. It is an egg that is said to bring a long life. If you like eating eggs, buy a ticket together. But if you don't know Hakone yet, we recommend you to learn about it here.

Owakudani Valley is a popular tourist spot in this city. You can get there by public transportation by taking the Hakone Ropeway, which operates between Togendai and Sounzan Stations. You can get on from either side and get off at Owakudani Station. However, we recommend taking the ropeway while enjoying the view of the city from above. Hakone is full of abundant nature, and you may see things you've never seen or don't see very often, such as beautiful autumn leaves or Mount Fuji on a clear day. Our destination is to eat the valley's famous "black eggs (Kuro Tamago)", which are boiled in the sulfur spring water. The black color of the egg shell comes from the color of the sulfur. The Japanese believe that eating one black egg will extend your life by 7 years. We ate 3 eggs, so we will have a long time to visit Japan.
