Ropeway ride over the volcanic Owakudani Valley
Hakone · Japan
About this experience
Owakudani in Hakone is a valley that carries the marks of an old volcanic eruption, with sulphur steam rising from the ground. The ropeway passes over these yellow and grey slopes; clouds of steam rise below and a sulphur smell hangs in the air.
People with breathing problems should be careful because of the sulphur gas. Operations can change with weather and volcanic conditions. Dress in layers for the mountain wind.
