On the left you can see the ropeway which takes excited tourists over the volcanic sulphurous springs. All over the area are signs warning that the gases are fairly toxic and people should not stand around for too long. Despite that it is an incredibly popular area for people to cook kuro tamago (black eggs). The eggs are boiled in pools (as you can see on the right) and after they have turned black they are eaten. Supposedly, each egg adds a few years to your lifespan. This might balance the reduced lifespan caused by spending 20 mins breathing in toxic fumes.
