What other travelers are saying about Owakudani Valley
Although we didn't get to spend time at the hot springs due to the weather not cooperating and high winds. We thought it best to head back down and not be stuck at the top. Everything was enjoyable from the train ride up/down it was totally spectacular. I have never experienced so much beautiful land scape, trees etc. God in His infinite glory shared this beauty with us. I would love to give place a go again, hopefully another time. I can't wait.

Went on late March on a cloudy day but we managed to get good view from the observatory deck and the ropeway. It was quite fascinating from the ropeway, although Mount Fuji was covered. Sulphur smell was rather strong but expected. On top of a mountain, there’s a museum with 100JPY admission which gave a good information about Owakudani’s history, how hot springs work, etc. worth a visit for that price! There’s also a cafe (great black curry bread!!) and souvenir shop. Of course we had to get the black eggs, personally it doesn’t taste that different but good to try.

Make sure you book for the tour of the mountain to get closer to the peak and see where they cook the eggs.
This is a cool little tour with a guide and lots of translation though the guide may only speak Japanese.
You get a nice flute rendition at the end.
Easily traversable but they are not kidding about underlying respiratory problems, two guys on our trip had to bow out as they lost their breath or couldn't stop coughing.
Lots of interesting things to see up close.

While visiting Hakone, we stopped by this popular tourist spot in the volcanic valley. It was fun to see the steam and the unique landscape. We tried the famous black eggs that are boiled in the hot springs—they say eating one adds seven years to your life! It was a fun experience and worth checking out if you're in the area.

Its our second time visiting owakudani,we were so excited this time because of the new viewing glass balcony that was built recently, unfortunately it’s cloudy and the wind was so strong, we didn’t get to see much of the scenery. But I know it’s beautiful because I’ve been here 5 years ago and I was able to see the full view of mount Fuji from the parking lot
