Reichu: Stealing some info from japan-guide.com:
Owakudani is the area around a crater created in the last eruption of Mt. Hakone 3000 years ago. Sulfurous fumes, hot springs and hot rivers can be experienced on a walk in the area. Eggs boiled in the hot springs are said to prolong one's life by seven years and are readily available for sale.
Soluzar: Is there a "Spring of Drowned Girl"?
Reichu: How about a "Spring of Drowned Penguin"? :D
Soluzar: Also, is that seven years per egg, 'cause if it is, I have got to get me some of those!!!
