[Kanagawa] 🥚 Owakudani Kurotamagokan - one Kurotamago can extend your life by 7 years?!

#JapanTravelGuide 📍Spot Introduction Owakudani is known for the volcanic smoke and sulfurous smell it produces. Its specialty is black eggs boiled in hot spring ponds! The shells turn black due to a compound unique to the hot springs. Legend has it that eating one will extend your life by seven years. How to Enjoy the Museum── ○ Tasting Black Eggs: The fluffy yolks are exceptionally delicious 🥚 ○ Souvenir Corner: A wide selection of black egg-related merchandise and limited-edition sweets 🛍️ ○ Observation Deck: Enjoy a panoramic view of Owakudani, its volcanic smoke rising, and Mt. Fuji 📸 🚶 Access ・Right next to Hakone Ropeway "Owakudani Station" 🚡 ・Approximately 50 minutes by bus from Hakone-Yumoto Station 🚌 ✨ Comments Eating black eggs against the dynamic natural backdrop of Owakudani is exceptional! It's a spot where you can enjoy sightseeing and gourmet food all at once, and the unique experience of "extending your lifespan" became a memorable part of my trip ⛰️🥚

🇯🇵 My First Trip to Tokyo – A Journey of Discovery 🌸 Tokyo — dazzling yet disciplined. My first visit was filled with excitement, small challenges, and countless moments of wonder. 🏙️ Everyday Etiquette & Culture In Tokyo, every small gesture matters. No walking while using your phone, no loud talking in public, and yes — you take your own trash home because public bins are rare! ♻️ Now I understand why Japan feels so clean and orderly — recycling isn’t just a rule here, it’s a lifestyle. People are polite, though not always perfectly so. Some shopkeepers were distant, others incredibly kind. But when I once offered a small tip — uncommon in Japan — their faces instantly brightened. A bow, a smile, and I was treated like royalty. 👑 🚇 Getting Around Tokyo’s metro system is one of the best in the world — spotless, efficient, and punctual. At first, all the lines and transfers were confusing (even Google Maps struggled 😂), but once you figure it out, it’s a traveler’s dream. And those “sardine-packed” trains from the movies? Not always true! Many rides were surprisingly comfortable. ✨ City Highlights Shibuya Crossing — when the lights turn green, thousands move in perfect rhythm. I felt like the main character in Resident Evil — surrounded by people crossing in every direction 🧟♀️💥 Shimbashi — tried the famous Ichiran Ramen 🍜. Fun experience, but the food didn’t quite live up to the hype. Akihabara — heaven for anime fans and tech lovers. I even found my favorite Ultraman figures (except the one I wanted 😅). Harajuku — Tokyo’s playful heart 💖. Trendy boutiques and animal cafés where you can sip coffee beside cats or owls 🐱☕ 🌋 A Breath of Nature in Hakone A short trip from Tokyo, Hakone offered peace, mountains, and hot springs. Mist over Lake Ashi, the red torii gate of Hakone Shrine, the sulfuric air of Owakudani Valley — and the famous black eggs said to add seven years to your life… so I ate two! 🥚😋 Tokyo is a city of contrasts — energy and order, tradition and technology. Seven days here taught me not just to see, but to observe. Japan doesn’t just welcome you — it quietly changes you. 🇯🇵✨ #TokyoTravel #HakoneTrip #JapanDiaries#FirstTimeInTokyo#ExploreJapan #TokyoVibes#Tripdotcom
