About
Located right at the Owakudani volcanic valley, this compact museum offers a fascinating look into the geothermal forces that shaped Hakone. Inside, you will find interactive exhibits, volcanic rock specimens, and real-time monitoring displays of the active zone outside. It is the perfect, quick educational stop to understand the science behind the area's famous hot springs and steaming vents before you explore the valley.
Insider Tip
Combine your visit with a taste of Owakudani's famous black eggs, boiled in the local sulfur-rich waters right outside.
