Hakone, in Japan’s Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park close to Tokyo, is a mountainous town known for its hot springs resorts (onsen) and views of the iconic volcano Mount Fuji. It also encompasses Hakone Shrine, a Shinto shrine with a red “torii” gate overlooking Lake Ashi, which can be toured by boat, as well as the boiling sulfur springs of the Owakudani Valley.
After spending a few hours at Open Air Museum and going over to Gyoza Center restaurant we begin this short clip of my drive heading over to Owakudani to get a black egg (kuro tamago).
