What To Expect
Travelers will glide high above Hakone’s stunning landscape aboard the Hakone Ropeway gondola. As they ascend from Sounzan to Owakudani, they’ll witness dramatic volcanic steam vents and the unique scenery of the “Great Boiling Valley.” On clear days, the view opens up to the majestic Mt. Fuji and the sparkling waters of Lake Ashi below. The entire ride offers a panoramic journey through Hakone’s natural beauty — a perfect mix of adventure and breathtaking sights.
Owaku-dani Valley
Owakudani, known as the “Valley of Hell,” is an otherworldly landscape formed by volcanic activity. Here, travelers can witness steaming vents, bubbling hot springs, and the dramatic power of nature up close. A highlight is tasting the famous “black eggs,” boiled in the hot sulfur springs and said to add seven years to your life. With its surreal scenery and cultural quirks, Owakudani offers a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that is both thrilling and uniquely Japanese.

5.00Hina was a wonderful guide, very attentive to our needs and the speed that my wife and I were able to walk (we are elderly). She also had a very open and relaxed nature, chatting with us while we were waiting for our transportation from site to site (Hakone ropeway, pirate ship). The tour stops were very good, offering great views of Mount Fuji and Lake Ashi.
