Owakudani

Owakudani is best known for its steaming vents spewing sulfurous fumes which turn eggshells black when eggs are placed in them to be hardboiled. These eggs are reputed to add seven years to your life. Jeff went to buy two packs thinking they each contained one egg, but it turns out each bag contained five eggs. We gave some eggs away and then ended up taking the rest back to the guest house with us, which turned out to be a lifesaver. More on that later. Oh, and Jeff used a squat toilet for the very first time here. He was quite traumatized by the experience!
