【Owakudani】 Due to volcanic activity, numerous fumaroles and sulfur hot springs have formed here. The air is filled with the smell of sulfur, and steam rises from the ground, giving a breathtaking sensation of being deep inside the Earth. Owakudani's specialty is "black eggs," boiled in the hot spring water, whose shells turn black due to a sulfur reaction. 【Hakone Shrine】 Founded in 757 AD (Nara period) by Monk Mangan, it is one of the Kanto region's main guardian shrines. Located on the shores of Lake Ashi and surrounded by dense cedar forests, it is famous for prayers for good fortune, warding off evil, traffic safety, and matchmaking. 【Arakurayama Sengen Park】 Located in Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan, this famous park is renowned for its excellent views of Mount Fuji and its diverse beauty throughout the four seasons. The most famous attraction in the park is the Chureito Pagoda, which, set against the magnificent backdrop of Mount Fuji, is a must-visit for photography enthusiasts. 【Lawson
