Here, you can try the local specialty: Kuro-tamago (Black Eggs), boiled in sulfuric hot springs. Legend says eating one egg adds seven years to your life.

First of all the Title of their tour did not mentioned, leaving from Tokyo, while I was sitting in Hokane hoping that I did book a right tour! Took us a lot of calling, emailing, texting to find the person to meet us and pick us up at the first itinerary location. Yaya the poor lady was good, she communicated with all of us via text on WhatsApp that helped. We only did half of the tour because the rest was also involve driving back to Tokyo, which we didn’t know, so $96 per person for a family of four was really not doable.
We had an excellent day tour with our guide and driver Lisa, how was very friendly and helpful along verious destiantions such as the Hakone pirate ship, the ropeway and enoshima island.
Lots of time sitting on the bus but that can't be helped. Our guide, Tony, was great. Very helpful and kept the group together.
