Day Trip to Hakone from Tokyo: Volcanic Valley, Black Eggs and Pirate Ships!

One of the most popular destinations for a day trip from Tokyo, Hakone is a hot springs town full of beautiful views and tasty treats. Shizuka travels up mountains, over lakes, and through the shrines of Hakone to visit places offering unique Hakone food, like coal black onsen eggs and “power” mochi.

Shizuka begins her adventure by exploring an active volcano, and trying the black onsen tamago, or hot springs eggs, that the area is famous for. Then, she travels across the lake on a pirate ship, and reenacts some of her favorite boat-related movie scenes. After her Oscar-worthy performance, she enjoys a Japanese hot pot and grated mountain yam. Finally, she explores Hakone shrine and ends up at a cha-ya (tea shop) that’s stood the test of time.

[fuugakiishihara]

Hi Shizuka, is it possible to go from Tokyo to experience all that you did in this video within a day and then come back?

[yuniwatichandradinata]

[amoolabdu]

Can i go to hakone from tokyo and go back to tokyo on the same day???

[carlosnishii]

The whole video is eating and more eating… 😢

[SOAR-OF-AVEM]

This is nearly epic! The restaurant after the pirate ship, the lighting and angles are incredible! The food, wow! Also, the last place of stay! This is a place to grub into "history"! The Japanese people are so real as living people. Arigato so much!

I’m quarantining with my 4 year old in a separate room (first time with covid), my wife is bringing us soups and water, bless her. But I gotta say, while I enjoy JBF a lot, watching Shizuka eat bomb Japanese food is not helping my cause. 😂
