   Owakudani is a volcanic valley formed approximately 3,000 years ago and is recognized as a geological wonder. It has become a popular sightseeing destination, allowing visitors to witness continuous volcanic activity up close. You can truly feel the power of nature as you watch smoke billowing from the surface of the volcano. Be sure to try the local specialty, the black eggs, which can only be found here. These eggs are steamed over sulfurous water, which gives them their characteristic pure-black shell. It is said that eating one of these eggs could extend your life by seven years.

As you ride, you'll witness the bottom of the Owakudani valley, along with sulfuric smoke rising from it. The desolate mountainside, enveloped in plumes of smoke, creates a striking scene that reflects the area's former name: Hell Valley.
