Hakone's Water Torii and the Hell's Longevity Egg

What are the must-visit spots in Hakone? If you're in Tokyo and unsure where to go, consider a day trip to Hakone! Start your journey at the Water Torii, a stunning location perfect for photography. If you're on a tight schedule with a one-day tour, make sure to queue up early for photos here, as waiting in line might eat up your limited time. Afterward, hop on the pirate ship for a lake cruise and then transfer to the cable car 🚡. Eventually, you'll arrive at Owakudani, a place steeped in legend. It's said that Japan is a land of longevity, and the secret to a long life is eating! Here, you can try a local specialty—the black egg. Eating one is believed to add seven years to your life. Do you believe it? I personally don't 🤨, but I bought one and ate it anyway 😆.
