The result of a volcanic eruption over 3,000 years ago, Owakudani is a volcanic valley with active sulfur vents and hot springs. This area is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Hakone due to its volcanic activity and striking scenic views—you can even catch an amazing view of Mt. Fuji on a clear day. About a 10-minute walk from the ropeway station is the main volcanic zone, where you will find steam vents and bubbling pools. You can purchase hard-boiled eggs cooked in the volcanically hot waters. With shells blackened by a chemical reaction with the hot spring water, these eggs are said to extend your life by seven years. Although the shell is black, the inside is a normal boiled egg.

You can enjoy approx. 25-40 minute sightseeing cruise. The Hakone scenery seen from the lake is completely beautiful. This sightseeing ship navigates Lake Ashinoko like a pirate ship! Don’t miss prime spots with Mt. Fuji and the laketop torii gate of Hakone shrine both in the same view!
