Cleansing
Usual equipment at the entrance of a temple or a shrine but unusual water : warm with a smell of sulphur ! Shot at Owakudani near Hakone.

Black Egg
A trip to Owakudani would not be complete without eating a black egg or kurotamago (黒タマゴ), the world most famous egg, which expands your longevity by 7 years ! Unfortunately, the path to the boiling crater was closed due to heavy snow and ice, so just some photos of someone enjoying eating them :-)
-
Closed
100+ km drive and Owakudani was closed ! Oh well it was not the first time and probably not the last either. Plenty of nice photos already :-) And besides, they had freshly cooked eggs available so the trip wasn’t for nothing. More on that later…
-
Snow Drive
On our way to Owakudani. This time we had the snow socks with us. Quattro with summer tires helps to climb the hills but is of no use to stop or to turn ;-)

Amazake
Always extremly hot so careful with the first sip ! This one was from Hakone.

Snow in Hakone
Wanted to shoot a short video at Owakudani – would have been gorgeous with all the snow – but it was closed… due to heavy snowfall ! While going up the mountain was quite easy with AWD, there were a few scary moments on the way down when the car did not really want to ...
