Ōwakudani in Hakone, Japan, is a volcanic valley known for its active sulfur vents and hot springs. Formed approximately 3,000 years ago during the last eruption of Mount Hakone, it offers visitors a unique landscape with steaming vents and bubbling pools. The area is famous for its "black eggs," which are regular eggs boiled in the natural hot springs, turning their shells black due to the sulfur. Eating these eggs is said to add seven years to one's life.
