Owakudani Hot Springs (Hakone)
My wife and I went on a cruise around Japan this year. This is one of the photos captured while on the cruise. Owakudani is an area adjacent to Hakone which is laced with sulphurous vents and hot springs. It is known for the Kuro-tamago ("black egg") specialty, eggs hard-boiled in the hot springs. The sulphur compounds turn the shells black and affect the taste. It is believed that eating one will add 7 years to one's life!
