The Great Boiling Valley
Ōwakudani is a volcanic valley in Knagawa prefecture. Ōwakudani is hot springs in Hakone which is very famous place.
We ate kuro-tamago which are a local specialty of eggs hard-boiled in the hot springs. The boiled eggs turn black. H2S and Fe in hot springs make eggs be black.

If you eat one egg, you will increase your longevity by 7 years! If you eat two eggs, you will increase your longevity by 14 years! LOL

My young son likes kuro-tamago. He ate three eggs.
A lot of forigner people visited in Owakudani.
A lot of eggs were made to kuro-tamago in hot springs. So this video is how to make kuro-
tamago.

what a hard work that must be - to put in and take out the eggs all day long in that hot vapour!
I wouldn't do that!

Wow, boiling eggs in the hot springs. We have some hot springs in this area, but I don't think anyone has ever boiled eggs in them. They use them as therapeutic baths. There is even a town named Hot Springs.

If you come to Japan, you should go to Hakone. It is easy to go Hakone from Tokyo.
