Boarding the cablecar up the mountain! This was one of SEVEN forms of transportation we took that day as we circled around Mt. Fuji!
View of Lake Ashi from the ropeway!
A small strolling garden outside of the hotel where we took a bath in the hot springs that Hakone is famous for. From this spot, we should have been able to see Mt. Fuji should have been. :(
The boiling hells of Owakudani!!! Smelled like sulfer.
Luckily, neither of us was suffering from a delicate bronchus.
Japan has hells like these scattered throughout the island because of the volcanic activity.
The rocky hells of Owakudani.
Eggs flying about in the air!
The eggs are sent up and down to various rest stops on this little conveyer thing. They're boiled in the hells and then sent over to the stalls for sale.
Yes.
Eating eggs.
Adding approximately 7 years to our lives by eating these eggs that were boiled in the Owakudani hells so that the sulfer turns them black. They also sold little charms that said "FOREVER LIFE BLACKED EGG LUCK CHARM. The black egg will bring you best of luck. Long life for living and keep you away from disaster. Keeping a little egg in your wallet will gives you financial luck."
Black eggs!
Pirate ships that we took across the river....?
Hakone Shrine across the waters.
