Owakudani is an active volcanic zone set around a crater created by Mount Hakone's eruption from several thousand years ago. Sulphuric fumes still fill the air, so you're given a wet disposable towel to avoid inhaling too much of the stuff. The main reason I wanted to come here was to try the kuro tamago (Owakudani black eggs), which are eggs that are hard-boiled in the area's hot springs. It's believed that eating it adds seven years to your life! 🥚🔥

A friend told me about this volcano. It seems straight out otherworldly and amazing! Due to its rich sulfur content the electric-blue fires can be seen at night. Apparently the entire area smells a bit of rotten eggs. Don’t care. Let me go! Last eruption: 1999

It worth the sweat when you climb at 4am to see this amazing view. A guide is a must, the trek is dangerous in the dark. I'm having a short of breath while climbing and become frustrated (not really fit). It cold up there. A warm jacket is necessary. You need to climb down to see the blue fire. And wear a gas mask cause the sulphur smell.
