- Overview
-
- Owakudani, where you can witness volcanic activity up close, is one of Hakone’s most dramatic landscapes. The ropeway ride offers breathtaking views of a valley filled with steam and sulfurous smoke — a place once known as "Hell Valley."
- Upon arrival, don't miss the famous black boiled eggs, cooked using the valley’s geothermal heat and volcanic gases. Their unique black shells are the result of a natural chemical reaction, and eating one is said to add seven years to your life! You can also explore the nearby museum .
- A brand-new highlight is the “Valley of the Earth” (Chikyuu no Tani) — a scenic area featuring three new viewing decks. Among them, the Ibuki Deck is a must-see. This daring glass platform stands 8 meters high and stretches 11 meters out over the valley, letting you look straight down at the smoking vents and the ropeway passing below.
- Whether you’re after excitement, scenery, Owakudani offers it all — now with even more spectacular viewpoints.
