Owakudani (Ōwakudani) is an area around a crater of the Mount Hakone volcano, which erupted approximately 3,000 years ago. It's famous for its active volcanic activity, where you can see sulfurous fumes rising from the steam vents and bubbling pools. While you're there, you have to try the famous black eggs, called kuro tamago. These eggs are boiled in hot springs and are said to give you seven extra years of life! If you're up for more adventure, the Owakudani Trail is a fantastic place to hike with amazing views of Mount Fuji on clear days. You can also hop on the Hakone Ropeway, which offers awesome views of the volcanic land and Lake Ashi as it takes you from Sounzan Station to Togendai Station. With so many things to do and see, Owakudani is a must-visit place in Japan. Don’t forget your camera, because the views are picture-perfect!

We were so lucky today. We visited all the scenic spots. After the afternoon thunderstorm, we thought the afternoon trip was ruined. But when we arrived at Oshino Hakkai, the rain basically stopped. Mount Fuji was particularly beautiful after the rain. Today's trip was normal, rich and perfect. Special thanks to Director Liu, who completed a lot of work in advance, so that we could complete today's trip smoothly and perfectly.

I am very grateful to Director Liu and his assistant Xiao Zhu today. I am very satisfied with the itinerary, which is professional and fulfilling. The explanation and service are also very careful and detailed. Although it rained, the weather cleared up immediately. I was very lucky to see Mount Fuji. Five stars are really not enough🌟. I hope to join Director Liu's group again when I come to Japan next time. 👍👍👍👍👍

Tour leader Wanting was exceptional in sharing the history of Mount Fuji and the surrounding areas. To make this itinerary complete, I would have liked to visit the 5th station. A bonus was that we visited when Mount Fuji was fully visible.
