What other travelers are saying about Owakudani Valley
Great views! Wow! If you’re lucky, you’ll get a beautiful view of Mt. Fuji! When we visited, it was very cloudy so we weren’t able to see the full view of Mt. Fuji. But the place itself is still stunning on its own. It’s so breathtaking!
It is a scenic place to visit.
However, do note of the sulphur emission. Do wear a mask if you have a sensitive nose.
Having sunglasses will be great, too.
There is no entrance fee, but you will need to get there via a tour bus or the rope way.
Impressive views, including Fuji mount as background. You can get their famous black egg and also a lot of different exotic black food just for fun. The hiking route is closed and the constant gas may result inconvenient or even hazard for elders, pregnant women, or people with asthma. It is very interesting the smell and the shrine.
Easy to access. Unless you have a tour booked, there isn't much to do. Good view into the mountain. With a clear sky, the Fuji mountain should be visible. You can buy souvenirs and eat on top of the station.
The view is great up there, you can even take pictures of mount Fuji from this location. Foods served in the stores are delicious. You need to endure the smell though, it's not that bad after you're used to it after a while.
