Located 5 minutes by car from Hakone-Yumoto Station and 30 minutes by car from the Tomei Atsugi Interchange, Hakone Hanamon is a hot spring inn where you can enjoy 10 different types of hot springs and kaiseki cuisine.
The surrounding area is full of Hakone’s attractions, including Lake Ashi and Owakudani Valley, wherever you go.
Lake Ashi, a long and narrow lake with a circumference of 20 km, was formed in the caldera of the Hakone volcano about 400,000 years ago, and from the cedar-lined road on its southern shore you can see the magnificent upside-down Mt.
And with rainbow trout, black bass, wakasagi, etc. inhabiting the lake, you can even enjoy fishing!
At Owakudani, visitors can also enjoy the view of the majestic Mt. Fuji with the Hakone mountains and the eruption sites that show the remnants of volcanic activity 400,000 years ago.
Owakudani’s specialty, black eggs, which are said to extend one’s life by seven years, are slowly boiled in the hot spring water at a temperature of approximately 80 degrees Celsius for about 60 minutes.
The porous shells are covered with iron from the hot spring water, which reacts with hydrogen sulfide to produce a black color. The blackened eggs are then transferred to a steamer and steamed for 15 minutes at approximately 100 degrees Celsius before being sold.
It is said that eating “Kuro-tamago” (black eggs) is said to prolong one’s life in accordance with a Jizo (guardian deity) named “Enmei-jizoson,” who is said to have been created by Kobo Daishi during the Heian period (794-1185) to prolong one’s life and raise children.
It seems to have some mysterious power, doesn’t it!
