Japan Owakudani Evacuation Tunnel

🌈 Owakudani 🌈 📍Detailed address: 〒250-0631 Kanagawa Prefecture Ashigarashimo District Hakone Town Sengokuhara 🕙Business hours: 9:00-17:00 🌟Highlights: 1️⃣, Geothermal phenomenon: The ground of Owakudani continuously gushes out steam and hot water, demonstrating the active energy inside the earth. 2️⃣, Black eggs (黒たまご): There is a local specialty food - black eggs boiled in hot spring water. Legend has it that eating one can extend your life by 7 years. 3️⃣, Natural landscape: There are rich natural landscapes around, and you can see Mount Fuji from a distance when the weather is clear. 4️⃣, Scientific value: Owakudani is an important place for studying volcanic activity and geothermal phenomena. 📝Note tips: This attraction has been criticized a lot online. After visiting it, I would like to share three thoughts: 1️⃣. The service is very unfriendly. They close at 5pm and at 4:50pm they chase tourists down the mountain and don't even let them sit on the benches waiting for the bus. Because we chartered a car, we were waiting for the driver next to the parking lot. He tried his best to drive us away and refused to talk to the driver who could speak Japanese. The driver was later stopped when going up the mountain and was only allowed to go after negotiations. 2️⃣, 🔥's black eggs taste the same as boiled eggs. 4 of them are really filling, but it's boring with fewer people. But if you buy eggs, I suggest you go to the restaurant next door to eat them and buy 🥛+ the curry bread which is said to be delicious. The actual experience is very ordinary, but the service attitude of the staff here is not bad. 3️⃣, Although it is 🆓 as far as the eye can see, it is indeed true that apart from the stunning geographical features seen from the cable car, there is no other reason to come. 4️⃣. Remember that if you have a choice in the cable car queue, choose the left side when going up the mountain and the right side when going down the mountain. This way you can better observe the topography of Owakudani, and on the other side you can see the view of Mount Fuji. 5️⃣. Due to the strong sulphur smell, people with sensitive smells are advised to be prepared.
