I was fortunate to be able to take the Hakone Ropeway up to the transfer station at Owaku-dani and get off to experience this volcanic valley which is a volcanic crater. created during the last eruption of Mount Hakone some 3,000 years ago. This is an active volcanic zone where sulfurous fumes, hot springs and hot rivers can be experienced. Owaku-dani had a great view of Mount Fuji as it was clear on the day I visited; however, I understand that this may have been one of the better days as it was clear when I got there and began to cloud up a little later in the day. A short walking trail from the Ropeway Station leads to the volcanic zone where there are numerous of steam vents and bubbling pools. The smell of sulfur may be quite strong and there are alarms when the levels are high. The area may be closed if there is judged to be dangerous levels of gas or if volcanic activity is judged to be imminent. If open, worth a visit as this is an unusual place and a great geologic wonder. There is a geologic museum and places to eat there also. You can also purchase boiled eggs, cooked in the naturally hot water, whose shells are blackened by the sulfur; it is said to prolong one's life by seven years.
