Road Trip to Owakudani, HAKONE || Explore Japan || Part - I

Owakudani is an active volcanic valley in the famed Hakone region west of Tokyo. It’s known to locals as "Jigokudani" (the Valley of Hell) and is famous for its black eggs, which are boiled in the sulfurous waters to give the egg shells a distinctive color.
The Owakudani area will surely will take your breath away, not just for the magnificent view of nearby Mt. Fuji on a clear day, but also from the rising volcanic gases that originate underneath the valley itself. When you look around you, there is an infinite amount of steam pouring up through vents scattered around the mountain, and a very distinct odor that will remind you that you are indeed traversing an active volcanic valley.
