Japan’s Owakudani volcano valley: wake up and smell the sulphur

Owakudani is a volcanic valley here in Hakone. You can see behind me steam vents that smell strongly like sulfur. Locals like to boil eggs in those vents and they say it adds seven years to your life. Sometimes the smell of sulfur is so strong that they have to close down everything. On a clear day, you can see Mount Fuji from here.
