Takunggu is one of Hakone's many hot spring attractions, located in the south of Fuji Shandong, with intermittent volcanic activity and rich geothermal resources. When I didn’t reach the attraction, I smelled a strong sulfur smell and some pungent hydrogen sulfide smell from afar, and then I saw a thick cloud of steam that covered the sky and the sun hovering on the mountainside, the top of the mountain and the low altitude. The steam constantly erupts and makes a squeaky sound. The distant view is a light ink painting, the close look is thrilling, with strong visual impact of the dynamic picture. The specialty of Takunggu is clearly contrasted on its observation deck: on one side is a cloud of steam from a spectacular volcanic hot spring, on the other is a gem-like quiet lake set in the mountains, like hell and paradise! The black eggs cooked in local hot spring water must be eaten!
They said, eating a black egg will add 7years of life.. i ate 4 or 5, so i'm hoping that i will be living with additional 35 years 😆
