From 12th to 14th, we have been to Hakone, an old spa town in Kanagawa pref. for business training.
While studying business manners, strategies etc, we enjoyed beautiful scenery and japanese spa.



Japanese-style garden in the hotel.



We took ropeway from Souunkyo to Owakidani, the place which is famous for sulfur springs.
(You know how sulfur smells, but the amazing scenery made us forget it for a while:)


smokes from the surface of the mountain



"Owakidani" is famous for "Kurotamago (black egg)," which is boiled in the hot spring first and then steamed for 10 minutes.
The black colour comes from smoke.
Is is said that if you eat this egg, your life is extended for some years.

You should definately try Hakone when you have chance to visit Japan!
